520    "Action explores the ways that a modern-day writer can 
       successfully tell an action story that not only stands 
       apart, but wins the war on clichés. Teaming up with the 
       former co-host of The Story Toolkit, Bassim El-Wakil, 
       legendary story lecturer Robert McKee guides writers to 
       award-winning originality by deconstructing the action 
       genre, illuminating the challenges, and, more importantly,
       demonstrating how to master the demands of plot with 
       surprising beats of innovation and ingenuity. Topics 
       include: -Understanding the four core elements of Action -
       Creating the Action cast -Hook, Hold, Pay Off: Design in 
       Action -The Action Macguffin -Action set pieces -The 
       sixteen Action subgenres. A must-add to the McKee 
       storytelling library, Action illustrates the principles of
       narrative drive with precision and clarity by referencing 
       the most popular action movies of our time including: Die 
       Hard, The Star Wars Saga, Dark Knight, The Matrix, and 
       Avengers: Endgame"--|cProvided by publisher.
