  Adventure Films
Adventure films are very similar to the action film genre, in that they are designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the film viewer.
Adventure films were intended to appeal mainly to men, creating major male heroic stars through the years.
Adventure films are often set in an historical period, and may include adapted stories of historical or literary adventure heroes (Robin Hood, Tarzan, and Zorro for example), kings, battles, rebellion, or piracy.

 Short Stories: The Adventure Of Black Peter by Arthur Conan Doyle
He was known in the trade as Black Peter, and the name was given him, not only on account of his swarthy features and the colour of his huge beard, but for the humours which were the terror of all around him.
It was a terrible household that Black Peter Carey had made for himself, and it was with a sense of relief that we found ourselves in the sunlight again and making our way along a path which had been worn across the fields by the feet of the dead man.
Peter Carey was master of the SEA UNICORN, and I was spare harpooner.

Peter, however, was still able to fly [because] his mother had forgotten to weigh him at birth.
Ultimately, this is the query that gave birth to the second Peter; this second Peter was Peter Pan, a boy half-bird, half-earthbound, named for the Greek god that symbolized natural forces.
By fusing Peter with Pan the supernatural dryad, Peter could embody both innocent and magical qualities: Peter could simultaneously yearn for his mother's love and be capable of conquering a murderous villain.
