Unlike modern action films, which often take place in a modern city, often with the hero battling drug cartels or terrorists, an adventure film typically takes place in the past (or the future), often with much swordfighting or swashbuckling. The genre probably reached the peak of its popularity in Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s, when films like Captain Blood, The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Mark of Zorro were regularly being made and a number of the biggest stars, notably Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power, become closely associated with it. At the same time, lower down the scale, Saturday morning serials were often using many of the same thematic elements as adventure films.The genre has undergone periodic revivals since the 1950s, with figures like Robin Hood and Zorro often being re-cast for a new generation. Some of these revivals have been successful, as with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and some less so, as with Swashbuckler. In the 1980s the success of Steven Spielberg's Saturday Morning serial-style adventure Raiders of the Lost Ark spawned a host of imitators, mostly unsuccessful.There is often a degree of overlap between the adventure film and other genres. For example, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) contains many adventure film as well as science fiction elements, while The Mummy (1999) combines the adventure and horror genres.Popular adventure film concepts include: * An outlaw figure fighting for justice or battling a tyrant (as in Robin Hood or Zorro) * Pirates (as in Captain Blood or Pirates of the Caribbean) * A search for a lost city or for hidden treasure (as in King Solomon's Mines or Indiana Jones)Popular adventure films * The Adventures of Robin Hood, * The Back to the Future films * Captain Blood, * Gladiator * The Goonies, * The Great Escape, * The Incredibles * Hero, * The Indiana Jones films * The early James Bond films, * Jaws * Jurassic Park, * King Kong, * Lawrence of Arabia * The Lord of the Rings films * The Pirates of the Caribbean films, * The Princess Bride, * The Rocketeer, * The Sea Hawk, * Serenity, * Sky captain and the World of Tomorrow, * Spartacus * The Star Wars films, * The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, * The Wizard of Oz, * The Zorro films
