The heart of the drama is the conflict. In the genre there are normally realistic struggles that the audience can relate to, which enables the audience to be emotionally attached to the characters. The films are structured climaxes and anti-climaxes to keep tension on going.
Drama films can also be interlaced with other genres such as tragedy and comedy, which changes the overall representation of the film and the characters.

Examples of drama films:

- The Notebook
- Forrest Gump 
- The Great Gatsby
- The Hunger Games
