Adventure is a subgenre of the action film genre, but is usually lighter in tone, often time making use of exotic and exciting settings and over-the-top physical exploits. The Adventure genre isn't so much about car chases and cops and robbers as it is about pirates, swordplay, treasure hunters and the occasional quest to find an ancient Biblical box so the Nazis don't get their grubby little hands on it.
