The rating of the best action films has been published

The world's best action movie, according to Collider, a publication specializing in film, television and video games, was the film "Seven Samurai", released in 1954.

The film, directed by Akira Kurosawa, takes place in 16th-century Japan. At that time there was a civil war in the country and bandits were active. According to the plot of the film, poor peasants hire seven impoverished samurai to protect the village.

Seven Samurai is one of the most significant and influential Japanese films in cinema history. According to Collider, the film became a model for subsequent works in the action genre. Kurosawa used fast-paced editing and also made weather an important element of the story. In addition, the director created vivid character archetypes, which, thanks to their individuality, give the film dynamics and develop the plot.

The publication placed the film “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” directed by James Cameron in second place. Released in 1992, the film follows the first film's heroine Sarah Connor, her son John and a reprogrammed Terminator against a virtually invulnerable machine bent on killing a boy.

Collider called the action film a "landmark achievement" in the genre. What made it a cult classic was its combination of emotional storytelling and action, but what made it legendary was Cameron's commitment to pushing technological boundaries. Due to the large-scale special effects at the time of its release, Terminator 2: Judgment Day became the most expensive in the history of cinema.

Third place according to the editors was taken by the 1988 film “Die Hard” directed by John McTiernan. In the story, policeman John McClane confronts a gang of terrorists who have taken 20 people hostage in Los Angeles, including his wife.

The film is famous for its catchphrases and iconic characters, Collider noted. In addition, instead of the invincible heroes of other action films, John McClane makes mistakes, which makes it seem understandable to the viewer.

Also included in the rating of the best action films according to the publication are “Aliens” (1986), “Lethal Weapon” (1987), “Point Break” (1991), “The French Connection” (1971), “John Wick” (2014), “Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), “Exit” Dragon" (1973), "Predator" (1987), "The Matrix" (1999), "Bullitt" (1968), "The Dark Knight" (2008), "Kill Bill: The Movie 1" (2003), "Casino Royale" (2006), "Rambo: First Blood" (1982), "Hard Boiled" (1992), and "Raid" (2011).
