The 10 Best Voyage and Adventure Movies

Originating in ancient myths and stories, the “voyage and return” plotline is a classic narrative device. Characters in these stories set out on life-changing adventures, leaving the comforts of home behind as they encounter difficulties, wonders, and challenges in a foreign land. The experiences they’ve had have left them radically altered by the time they return. It is a well-known illustration of the hero’s journey.

The movies on this list, whether they are set in magical worlds or on cross-country road trips, are perfect examples of the voyage and return storyline, providing the characters and viewers with an experience they won’t soon forget.
