For two decades, Angelina Jolie has been Hollywood’s undisputed Queen of Action. While other actresses dabbled in the genre, Jolie committed to it fully—performing most of her own stunts, training with military experts, and wielding weapons with a scorching intensity that made men in the audience flinch and women want to join her crew.
Whether she is swinging through Angkor Wat as Lara Croft, curving a bullet as Fox, or escaping a CIA black site as Salt, Angelina Jolie has delivered a library of full-throttle, uncompromising action cinema that stands tall alongside any male-led franchise.

She lowered the threshold for what female action stars could do. Before Jolie, women in action movies were sidekicks or Bond girls. After Jolie, they got origin stories, franchises, and Oscar-worthy fight scenes.
