Top 10 Best Action Movies of All Time
George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road took home six Academy Awards and a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score built on two hours of near-continuous practical stunt work, while John McTiernan's Die Hard, released decades earlier, set the skyscraper-thriller template nearly every entry since has borrowed from. This countdown runs from Bruce Willis trapped in a Los Angeles high-rise to Tom Cruise's real HALO jump in Mission: Impossible — Fallout, tracing the genre from John Woo's Hong Kong gun-ballet through to Top Gun: Maverick's $1.49 billion worldwide haul.
