Given that some authorities mark 1903's The Great Train Robbery as the first action film, it's evident that the genre has been around for quite a while now. Still, and in spite of early, sadly underappreciated silent stars like Pearl White and Helen Holmes, it was not until the 1970s (with Pam Grier's iconic blaxploitation features, Carrie Fisher in Star Wars, and the dawn of the Alien saga) that action movie heroines truly entered the pop culture conversation. Fortunately, as times changed, more and more women in the industry took leading roles in promising action films and franchises, bringing to life memorable and compelling personalities, with many such characters being among the most memorable in film history.
These courageous and badass female characters have left a strong mark on viewers due to their strong determination, wit, and courage. From The Incredibles' Elastigirl to Terminator 2's Sarah Connor, these are the most influential, fearless action movie heroines that remain inspiring to audiences worldwide.
30 Marion Ravenwood — 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (1981)
Played by Karen Allen
American archaeologist Abner Ravenwood's daughter, Marion Ravenwood, is a beloved female character among Indiana Jones fans, and it's quite easy to see the appeal. Portrayed by KarenAllen in a fan-favorite role, Marion is an intelligent and tough character who should not be simply seen as the protagonist's love interest.
It is evident that Marion Ravenwood possesses many admirable qualities of her own, including street smarts and bravery, that cement the Indy girl as an unforgettable character in the franchise. Considering how big Indiana Jones is, it is only natural that the headstrong Ravenwood — who was the saga's first heroine — also earns a spot among the best action heroines of all time.

Release Date June 12, 1981 Director Steven Spielberg Cast Harrison Ford , Karen Allen , Paul Freeman , John Rhys-Davies , Ronald Lacey , Denholm Elliott Runtime 115 minutes29 Rita Vrataski — 'Edge of Tomorrow' (2014)
Played by Emily Blunt
While Emily Blunt has landed several memorable roles such as Emily Carlton in The Devil Wears Prada and the titular character in Mary Poppins Returns, Rita Vrataski remains one of her most defining, with many people recognizing her from the Doug Liman film. Blunt flawlessly brings Edge of Tomorrow's reserved and fearless deuteragonist to life.
The character of Vrataski is a stand-out aspect of the movie and arguably one of the most memorable fictional characters in science fiction. What makes her such a badass and admired personality is the fact that she is the most honored soldier in all of the United Defense force, notoriously known for killing over more than one thousand Mimic aliens in combat — it's not for no reason that the heroine was nicknamed "The Angel of Verdun." Blunt's incredible efforts added to the story's great writing could only have great results.

Played by Anya Taylor-Joy
Although Charlize Theron does a fantastic job at playing the complex Mad Max character in Fury Road, Anya Taylor-Joy also deserves some kudos for her recent, fantastic efforts in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. While Theron felt saddened that she could not partake in the film and reprise her role, she happily passed down the torch to Taylor-Joy, who revealed that the two are "due a very long dinner" to swap Furiosa "war stories."
Taylor-Joy is unquestionably one of the most exciting young stars working today, so it's not the least shocking that her efforts in the movie did not disappoint. Considering that Furiosa provides audiences with insight into the early life of the iconic leader, there is hardly any doubt that Taylor-Joy, who perfectly — and brutally — portrayed the strong-willed and pragmatic heroine, was impeccably cast.

Played by Halle Berry
Halle Berry's incomparable character is one of the most treasured X-Men characters for a plethora of reasons. Part of her giant appeal has to do with her extraordinary powers: Storm is in control of the weather and atmosphere. For this reason, she is considered to be one of the most powerful mutants on Earth, as well as one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe.
Such a list would not be complete without Berry's on-screen counterpart; Storm earns her place not only because she's an extremely powerful character, but also due to her admirable personality traits, including her compassionate nature and empathy. On top of being an awesome character and valuable part of the team (she's always ready to save the day), Halle Berry's heroine is a groundbreaking trailblazer — after all, she was one of the first major Black superheroes and the first Black female superheroine.

Played by Milla Jovovich
Although the Resident Evil franchise is perhaps Milla Jovovich's career-defining project, her incredible performance in Luc Besson's action sci-fi movie is also at the top of the list. Leeloo is doubtlessly a key character in the cult classic, having the crucial ability to unite the power of the four elemental stones to form the Light of Creation.
Leeloo's superhuman strength is not the character's only forte: though innocent, Jovovich's on-screen counterpart is emotionally intelligent and strong-willed, let alone her genuinely fun personality. Even if Leeloo is arguably not as iconic as other female heroines on this list, Milla Jovovich's second most memorable role is still a noteworthy and three-dimensional character that certainly deserves a place among the best.

Played by Holly Hunter
Set in an alternate and futuristic version of the 1960s, the first The Incredibles film introduces audiences to a superhuman family hiding their powers, attempting to live a mundane suburban life. Helen (voice of Oscar winner Holly Hunter), also known as Elastigirl, is the deuteragonist of the movie, and the main protagonist of its sequel, Incredibles 2.
As the name suggests, the main superpower of this iconic heroine (one of the earliest and most memorable female action heroes in animated movies) is elasticity, which allows the character to stretch various parts of her body to many different sizes and can also extend to shape-shifting. Furthermore, what makes Helen Parr so marvelous is her strong will and dedication, both traits that make her an incredibly effective leader.

On top of its thrilling premise set in a near future where cybernetic enhancement is normal, it also features memorable characters, like its lead protagonist Motoko Kusanagi (voiced by AtsukoTanaka).
Although a controversial adaptation of the same name led by Scarlett Johansson found its way to the big screen, most fans of the source material were understandably disappointed by it. The original film, however, is equal parts thrilling and thought-provoking given the futuristic themes it tackles. To make things all the more exciting, its heroine is one of the most fearless and self-confident characters of all time.

When it is stolen, the two embark on a quest to find it.
There are so many great aspects of this groundbreaking film, with Yeoh's memorable performance as Yu Shu Lien essential to the film's success.

Charlize Theron's Lorraine Broughton is not one to mess with in Atomic Blonde, an engaging, sometimes brutal action thriller by DavidLeitch that follows the elite spy as she is forced to put her lethal skills to practice in order to stay alive during a seemingly impossible mission.
There is no doubt that Theron knows how to bring a badass character to life like few actors in movie history, and Broughton is no exception; with mind-blowing hand-to-hand combat skills and a quiet but assertive and charismatic personality to match, this atomic blonde is probably unlike any character viewers have ever seen.

Black Panther introduced Marvel fans to Chadwick Boseman's titular character, which turned out to be one of the most beloved, technologically innovative, and instantly iconic in the long-running franchise. Given that it also demonstrated Wakanda and presented viewers the people that inhabit it, it is only natural that the one of the most important personalities, the former General of the Dora Milaje (played by Danai Gurira in all her glory), stood out.
As the latest Black Panther film showcased, Okoye is currently one of the most well-written female characters in the MCU, as well as one of the most intriguing. The fierce and often serious natural-born leader — and people protector at heart — isn't afraid to speak her mind. What's more, on top of all these qualities, Okoye is incredibly funny whenever she wants to be.

Even though fans of the saga have mixed opinions of the writing Daisy Ridley's Rey was working with, there is no way to deny that she is an independent and strong spirit in the franchise. She was first introduced in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens as an orphan living alone on the desert planet Jakku, with Ridley reprising her role in the following two films. Another film starring Ridley was announced earlier this year.
While some fans lament the direction (or lack thereof) the sequel trilogy took, especially in its final installment, many admire Rey for being complex and endearing. Furthermore, Ridley's on-screen counterpart is kind and caring but also knows how to fight and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty whenever she needs to, easily handling any new challenge.

Before helping Hunt and his team fight her former colleagues, she was known as The Syndicate. Moreover, the martial arts expert stands tall among the most memorable female fictional characters of recent times, and a highlight of a franchise that's praiseworthy for presenting numerous terrific female characters.

It would've been a crime not to mention Milla Jovovich's iconic on-screen counterpart, Alice, in the Resident Evil franchise. Based on the Japanese video game franchise of the same name by Capcom, the survival horror/action hybrid saga follows Alice, former security operative of the Umbrella Corporation, who turned into an anti-Umbrella resistance fighter, as she navigates through different adventures.
In addition to her superhuman abilities, like extra speed and strength, Alice is a skilled fighter and marksman. Though some people believe that she is not as well-written as she had the potential to be, Jovovich's character is a rational and and cunning personality with badass physical abilities to match. The actress built on an action heroine persona and presence first seen in The Fifth Element here. The Resident Evil movies should have been better, but the star always delivered a strong performance.

Centering on Ashitaka (YôjiMatsuda), a young Emishi prince, and his involvement in a conflict between the forest's kami (gods) and the people who exploit its resources, this high-rated animation is, beyond any doubt, one of the studio's most treasured.
Even though Ashitaka is the main protagonist of Princess Mononoke, it is San (Yuriko Ishida), the titular character, that captures viewers' attention most of the time. On top of being courageous and protective (mostly over the forest and animals that inhabit it), the fierce, loving and compassionate San actively fights for important causes.

Jolie's performance in the films, which featured a groundbreaking use of a female lead character, is both inspiring and empowering to women all around the globe, given the fierce manner that the actress brought the three-dimensional character to life.

Played by Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu
Though a reboot of Charlie's Angels hit the movie theaters in 2019, the 2000 film remains the superior, more entertaining diversion (the original 1976 TV counterpart is definitely worth checking, too). Starring Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Cameron Diaz, these two films follow the three women detectives as they embark on different quests, using their incredible material arts and tech skills — as well as undeniable charisma — as deadly weapons.
After being rebooted twice since (once on TV), there is hardly any doubt that the angels remain some of the most well-liked and referenced characters in pop culture. Charlie's Angels' depiction of three self-sufficient, badass women on-screen is assuredly groundbreaking, especially considering that the story was first released in 1976, and that women weren't expected to be financially and emotionally independent at the time.
