Adventure film
Adventure films are a genre of film. Unlike action films, they often use their action scenes preferably to display and explore exotic locations in an energetic way.
The subgenres of adventure films include, swashbuckler film, disaster films, and historical dramas - which is similar to the epic film genre. Main plot elements include quests for lost continents, a jungle, mountain, island, urban and/or desert settings, characters going on a treasure hunts and heroic journeys for the unknown. Adventure films are mostly set in a period background and may include adapted stories of historical or fictional adventure heroes within the historical context. Kings, battles, rebellion or piracy are commonly seen in adventure films. Adventure films may also be combined with other movie genres such as, science fiction, fantasy and sometimes war films.
History
The adventure film reached its peak of popularity in 1930s and 1940s Hollywood, when films such as Captain Blood, The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Mark of Zorro were regularly made with major stars, notably Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power, who were closely associated with the genre. At the same time, Saturday morning serials were often using many of the same thematic elements as high-budget adventure films. In the early days of adventure films, the protagonists were mainly male. These heroes were courageous, often fighting suppression and facing tyrants. Recently these male heroic protagonists have occasionally been replaced by heroines, Lara Croft being an example.

Adventure
by: Be Your Own PetWe are adventuring, we are adventurers
And in the heart of Nepal we ran into trouble
When thieves caught sight of our elegant rubble
They ransacked our camp without saying goodnight
Okay, so yeah, but it was cool
Cuz we're like, adventurers
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We've been to every place anywhere in the world
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We are adventuring we are adventurers
Deep in the fall it was blazing hot
Below the equators the sunlight would start
We've travelled through jungles and tigers we've fought
But it's all cool, you know
Cuz we're like, adventurers
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We've been to every place anywhere in the world
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
Castles and causeways and monasteries and hideaways
Castles and causeways and monasteries and hideaways
Castles and causeways and monasteries and hideaways
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We've been to every place anywhere in the world
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
Oh and it's such fun with all these sights we've seen
Oh and it's such fun with all these sights we've seen
Oh and it's such fun with all these sights we've seen
