The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the „The Fast and the Furious‟ (action film) on the social behavioural pattern of students. To achieve this, the survey research design was used.

The sample size was 380 and 350 copies of questionnaire were retrieved. Four research questions guided the study. Research findings shows that the students in NnamdiAzikiwe University,Awka were exposed to action films and were being affected to a great extent by the films they watched. To this end, the researcher recommended that parents, lecturers and school authorities should help Government to sensitize the students on the danger of so much exposure to the action films. Students should also resolve in their minds to restrain from any film that would be injurious to their social orientation. The research suggested that further research should be carried out on the roles of film industries in eradicating negative behaviours and vices among youths.
