Behind the Explosions

Write an alternate timeline where the climactic explosion at the end of your favourite action movie never happened.

At the heart of every action movie is a riveting climax, often complete with explosive drama. What changes when you erase that element? How would the story unfold differently? Does the villain escape, or do the heroes find another way to triumph? Explore the implications of an action film without its usual explosive climax, bringing to the fore intelligent resolve over brute force. Is the ending still satisfying without a literal bang?
