act III; act three n. 1. The third act in
the three-act play structure; the end of a movie when the conflict is
resolved—the hero saves the day and all problems are resolved. If the film has
a Hollywood ending, then everyone lives
happily ever after. In a two-hour feature film, Act III usually comprises the
final 30 minutes. 2. The third act in a multi-act story. Different works
have different act structures, but those with more than three acts tend to use
Act III for continuing story development. Compare coda; dénouement;
Plot Point II.
