What accounts for the massive global popularity of action films and
adventure literature? How do men and women respond to iconic screen
stars such as Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve McQueen,
and Charlton Heston? Action genres have been Hollywood's most
profitable global exports for most of its history, their male
heroes the subject of much fascination and derision. Bestselling
literary thrillers, from The Hunt for Red October to Into Thin Air
, have also contributed markedly to popular understandings of male
activity. Action Figures takes stock of action narratives' many
appeals and recognizes how contemporary crises of gender identity
manifest themselves in popular commercial texts.
