A thriller is commonly about a hero the protagainist trying to beat the villian the antagonist. A thriller also contains fast pace editing and it uses suspence which build tension and are meant to keep the audience on the edge of their seat. All the tension which is built up through out the film with chase scenes and pursuits all lead up to the climax which is usually the villains plans being destroyed by the heroes actions, this is where the tables are turned on the villain where now the hero is on the upper hand. The sub-genres of the thriller are spy, legal, psychological, political, mystery and crime. The common thriller includes murder, menace, mystery and paranoia. The central plot o fa thriller is good vs evil, justice vs injustice it involves the characters on a dangerous mission to escape what seems an impossible situation, like in the mission impossible films, it seems impossible for the protagonist to come out on top but then there is a plot twist and the mostly troubled, multi faced, morally complex hero 'saves the day'.
A Red herring is something in a film which distracts your attention from the real issue. It is related but not identical to the real plot line.
