Award-Winning Action Films at the Cannes
30 action films have been recognised at the Cannes, and 11 of them won at least one award. They are ranked here by wins, then by nominations.
The most awarded are Electra (2 wins), The Mission (2 wins) and Cross (1 win). The films span 1953 to 2025.
Genres come from each film's catalogue data, so a film can appear under more than one genre. Every title links to its complete record at all four awards.
