The adventure genre, when applied to cinema, is wonderfully broad and can be combined with just about any other genre under the sun. They can be action-packed, fantastical, tragic, scary, or funny; all they really need is to have an emphasis on exciting stories or some kind of journey undertaken by one or more characters, usually to lands unfamiliar to them. What might be considered an adventure in real life, if depicted on screen, then becomes something that belongs to the adventure genre.
