Featured Friday: Chase Movies

Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.

This week, we look at one of the simple genres tailor-made for cinema: the chase movie. By putting their heroes on the run from relentless antagonists, these screenplays lean into the action, tension and suspense that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

Our collection includes:

• Catch Me If You Can by Jeff Nathanson
• Enemy of the State by David Marconi
• No Country for Old Men by Joel Coen & Ethan Coen
• Pineapple Express by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg
• Smokey and the Bandit by James Lee Barrett, Charles Shyer and Alan Mandel
• Terminator 2: Judgement Day by James Cameron and William Wisher
• The Blues Brothers by John Landis & Dan Aykroyd
• The Bourne Identity by Tony Gilroy and William Blake Herron
• The Bourne Ultimatum by Tony Gilroy and Scott Z. Burns and George Nolfi
• The Fugitive by David N. Twohy
• The Terminator by James Cameron
• Thelma & Louise by Callie Khouri
