Thriller- Defenition

Brief: The opening two minutes of a fictional film including titles

Definition: Thriller films are movies that primarily use action and suspense to engage the audience.

The thriller is a genre of fiction in which tough, resourceful, but essentially ordinary heroes are pitted against villains determined to destroy them, their country, or the stability of the free world. The hero of a typical thriller faces danger alone or in the company of a small band of companions. The protagonist may be a law of enforcement agent, a journalist, or a soldier, but typically he or she is cut off from the resources of "their" organisation. More often the hero is an ordinary citizen drawn into danger and intrigue by circumstances beyond their control. While thrillers constitute a distinct genre, they often incorporate elements of other genres such as adventure, detective fiction, and espionage. A thriller includes  suspense as an indispensable ingredient.
