Early Action Films
Some historians consider the Great Train Robbery to be the first action film. During the 1920s and 1930s, action-based films
were often “Swashbuckling” adventure films in which actors, such as Douglas Fairbanks, wielded swords in period pieces or
Westerns.
The 1940s and 1950s saw "action" in a new form through war and cowboy movies. Alfred Hitchcock ushered in the spy-
adventure genre while also establishing the use of action-oriented "set pieces" like the famous crop-duster scene and the
Mount Rushmore finale in North by Northwest. The film, along with a war-adventure called the Guns of Navarone inspired
producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman to invest in their own spy-adventure, based on the novels written by Ian
Fleming.

heroes are ready with one-liners, puns, and dry quips. The Bond films also used fast cutting, car crashes, fist fights, a variety
of weapons and gadgets, and elaborate action sequences.
