 The larger-than-life heroics portrayed in some film franchise adventures (most notably the "Indiana Jones" movies) set in the modern era have been described as swashbuckling.The genre has, apart from swordplay, always been characterized by influences that can be traced back to the chivalry tales of Medieval Europe, such as the legends of Robin Hood and King Arthur.It soon created its own drafts based on classic examples like "The Mark of Zorro" (1920), "The Three Musketeers (1921)", "Scaramouche (1923)" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934)".
