"Action explores the ways that a modern-day writer can successfully tell an action story that not only stands apart, but wins the war on clichés. Teaming up with the former co-host of The Story Toolkit, Bassim El-Wakil, legendary story lecturer Robert McKee guides writers to award-winning originality by deconstructing the action genre, illuminating the challenges, and, more importantly, demonstrating how to master the demands of plot with surprising beats of innovation and ingenuity. Topics include: -Understanding the four core elements of Action -Creating the Action cast -Hook, Hold, Pay Off: Design in Action -The Action Macguffin -Action set pieces -The sixteen Action subgenres. A must-add to the McKee storytelling library, Action illustrates the principles of narrative drive with precision and clarity by referencing the most popular action movies of our time including: Die Hard, The Star Wars Saga, Dark Knight, The Matrix, and Avengers: Endgame"-- Provided by publisher.
