chase sequence
Frantic escape footage
A chase sequence is a segment of a film, video game, or other narrative where one party pursues another, typically at high speed.
The term is most common in filmmaking, where chase sequences—whether by car, foot, or helicopter—serve as set pieces showcasing action and tension: The movie's motorcycle chase sequence through the streets of Paris runs nearly ten minutes.
