The best action movies for streaming adventure lovers

Sometimes, in addition to a good drama, or a funny story, you want a good action movie that makes the audience feel part of the protagonist’s most difficult moments. This is where adventures come into play, those plots in which the hero must be able to show what he’s made of, saving the world, rescuing his loved one or eliminating the bad guy on duty.

Of course, it’s not always the same, however, an adventure lover will find in action movies its the perfect dose of entertainment and story he was looking for. Plus, the genre has always been ever-changing, and now it’s not the same to watch ‘Indiana Jones’ as it is to see Tom Holland’s ‘Uncharted’, but they’re equally entertaining.

Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark

Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg formed an inseparable duo in ‘Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark’, one of the best action adventure movies of the whole story. Nazis, zombies, and an ancient lost treasure were the perfect ingredients for this film to become an instant classic and one every movie fan must watch on Amazon Prime Video.

The Mummy

It’s really about an action-adventure film that lovers of the genre must see ‘The Mummy,’ directed by Stephen Sommers, and starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. It’s a story that combines comedy, horror, fantasy and all in a way that is rarely seen today. Available on Netflix.
