Nothing matches the excitement of a blockbuster on a Friday night. Action movies provide the ideal genre to kick off the weekend. From the numerous action films on Max, these five have remained popular since their releases, some as early as 1986. While we are in spooky season full of horror films, breaking from the tension for one night may be appealing.

Dune: Part Two (2024)

Denis Villeneuve's reimagining of the iconic 1980s fantasy action film wowed viewers with its outstanding cast and remarkable special effects. The anticipation for the sequel was high, yet Villeneuve successfully delivered, achieving a higher Rotten Tomatoes score than its predecessor. Dune: Part Two continues Paul’s journey, played by Timothée Chalamet, as he seeks vengeance for his family's destruction. Alongside Chani, portrayed by Zendaya, he faces a significant choice that will shape his future.

The Dark Knight (2008)

This intense and grim reimagining of a beloved comic character features Batman, played by Christian Bale, as Gotham City's foremost defender against crime. He teams up with Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) to combat organized crime. However, the emergence of the Joker (Heath Ledger) disrupts the city, unleashing chaos that tests Batman’s limits and reveals how far he will go to protect Gotham’s citizens.

Aliens (1986)

Aliens not only exceeded its predecessor’s success but is often cited as the standout film in the Alien franchise. Sigourney Weaver reprises her role as the iconic Lt. Ellen Ripley, who has floated in space for 57 years after eluding an alien attack. When contact is lost with a human colony, she embarks on a mission to establish communication. Instead, she encounters a fierce battle with a Queen Alien and her hatchlings.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)

George Miller's revival of the Mad Max series began in 2015 with Mad Max: Fury Road. Nearly a decade later, he unveiled Furiosa, an exhilarating backstory featuring Charlize Theron's character from the original film. Anya Taylor-Joy portrays a younger Furiosa captured from the Green Place of Many Mothers and held by Dementus (Chris Hemsworth). Over ten years, we witness her ascent to Imperator and her quest to reclaim her birthplace.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

James Gunn's reimagining of the Suicide Squad, in stark contrast to the disappointing 2016 original rated at 26% on Rotten Tomatoes, rejuvenated the franchise. It showcases anti-heroes such as Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Bloodsport (Idris Elba), and Peacemaker (John Cena). In this thrilling film, the Belle Reve prison crew embarks on a perilous mission on the island of Corto Maltese to eliminate Starro the Conqueror before the local government can interfere.

Earlier, SSP reported that the filming of Until Dawn movie adaptation is finished.
