A good old-fashioned adventure is just the ticket to get your blood pumping and spike your adrenaline. Some of modern cinema's most unforgettable moments come straight out of adventure films. Where else are you going to find a globe-trotting archeologist who clashes with Nazis while tracking down religious artifacts?  This is the genre that brings together a group of underground street racers who employ fast cars to execute death defying stunts and even crazier missions. Adventure movies can involve something as simple as a quest for buried treasure or something as thrilling as racing against the clock to save the entire world from impending doom. The best thing about these adventure films is the dose of explosive fun they offer. They are what makes a summer movie feel so appealing.
