A live-action film is a type of movie that features real actors and physical sets, as opposed to animated films that use drawings or computer-generated imagery. These films often tell stories through the performances of human actors, capturing their emotions and actions in real time. Live-action films can belong to various genres, including drama, comedy, action, and horror. They may also adapt stories from books, comics, or video games, bringing characters like superheroes or fairy tale figures to life on the big screen.
