The challenges and evolution of special effects in the film genre of action-adventure are laid out in the professional research through the exploration of three major film franchises. Indiana Jones films have seen growth mainly through the stunts and special effects. In the series of James Bond films, agent 007 thrives not only in the locations that he goes to but in the stunts simulating realistic fighting as well as extreme stunts of jumping off of exploding buildings and intense car chasing. The Star Wars franchise has special effects ranging from dynamic stunts to exotically imagined locations. Space travel and the distant planets that audiences visit in these films are extreme.
