A thriller is a book or film which wants to keep the reader or viewer on edge with suspenseful, exciting and sensational action. Thrillers have also been produced in the radio, theater and television. This genre is incredibly large, and thrillers often overlap with pieces of work produced in other genres like mysteries,which are often thrillers.
Thrillers typically involve sudden plot twists and lots of doubtful scenes, which keeps people unsure about what is going to happen. This suspense can get almost unacceptable, especially in a long piece or a television series. Thrillers also have a lot of action, mostly chaotic, and they typically feature resourceful heroes and exotic settings.
The plots of thrillers can vary widely. Some are supernatural, others are scientific or medical in nature, forcing their protagonists to contend with biological agents or mysterious scientific happenings. Some are simply straight mysteries with clever, horrific or intriguing antagonists, while others are focused on the inner workings of the legal system, environmental threats, technology, or natural disasters.
