The document discusses how the media product represents certain social groups. It represents the main hero, Lucas, as a young and casual secret agent inspired by Spiderman's Peter Parker. Lucas breaks the stereotype of the tough action hero by showing concern in one scene due to the drama element of the film. However, his running scenes are stereotypical of an action hero. The character Phil is represented as a stereotypical geeky character like in Die Hard 4.0, though he does not use technical language or have much time to showcase his skills.

allowed to break the normal
‘hard’ guy stereotype of the
action hero in action films.
