'Last Action Hero' is a 1993 action-comedy-fantasy film directed by John McTiernan. It is a satire of the action genre and its clichés, containing several parodies of action films in the form of films within the film.
The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jack Slater, a fictional Los Angeles police detective, and Austin O'Brien as Danny Madigan, a young boy who enjoys watching action films. Danny lives in what the film portrays as the real world, but Slater is a fictional character even within the film, the hero of the Jack Slater series of action films. Slater and the other characters in the Slater film series inhabit a parallel universe corresponding to the world of the Slater films, and Danny is magically transported into this world while watching the latest Jack Slater sequel. Schwarzenegger also plays himself as the actor portraying Slater in the Slater series.
