Angelina Jolie’s best action movies: ‘Lara Croft’, ‘Salt’ and more

The film that turned Jolie into a genuine action icon, ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’ follows the fearless aristocratic archaeologist as she races a shadowy secret society to recover an ancient artefact capable of bending time itself. Directed by Simon West, Jolie plays Lara as someone entirely at home in danger, bringing a physicality, wit, and complete absence of self-doubt to the character that made it feel genuinely iconic rather than simply lifted from a video game. She spent months training in martial arts, weapons handling, and motorcycle riding for the role, and every single hour of it shows on screen. Stream it on Paramount+ and relive the moment Jolie became an action legend.
