Watching an action movie is about escaping into a reality that is simultaneously like our own and yet, very different. Another thing that draws people to the genre is that it features characters and situations that are the closest possible scenarios to “real world” superheroes. And the following list consists of some of these most-loved superheroes of all times:

- John McClane
John McClane is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Die Hard film series. He is portrayed by Bruce Willis.
