Political Thriller

Some conventions of a political thriller include:
  • Uses many locations - often focuses on different cultures or countries.
  • False heroes - characters we think are good reveal not to be.
  • 'Helpers' - Characters who provides the protagonist with something useful.
  • Threat is set against a back drop of political power struggle.
  • Plots are designed to give political power to someone while opponents try and prevent this.
  • Innocent people drawn into the political world.
  • Trying to prove innocence.
One example of a political thriller is Vantage point.
This includes a president and terrorism, which is a big thing in places like America  and is very political. As it has lots of clues to find and obviously different points of view hence the name 'Vantage Point' there are heroes and false heroes, innocent people being drawn into the political world and plots that can mislead the viewer.
