10 Best Highway Action Scenes In Cinema History

Captain America: The Winter Soldier alone boasts three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's best action scenes, with the Russo brothers surprising everyone with their ability to handle a variety of different set-pieces. The opening hostage rescue and the close-quarters fisticuffs in an elevator are both memorable in their own right, but the movie's highway showdown between the forces of good and evil is the undoubted highlight.

It starts as a routine car chase with superhero trappings before transforming into a gripping battle for survival as Cap, Black Widow and Falcon find themselves outgunned and over-matched, and it also provides the franchise's greatest example of hand-to-hand combat as the title character proves himself capable of matching the world's greatest soldier blow-for-blow an a meticulously choreographed scrap that ends on a life-changing reveal for Steve Rogers.
