It's great to be back in action on MMM! And speaking of "action", I love watching action movies - particularly the older ones with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Charles Bronson, et al. I could (and do) watch these types of movies over and over again, and I can recite a lot of the lines verbatim. This meta was inspired by this movie genre, and I hope you find it to be action-packed and entertaining - right up until the climactic ending! I'd like to thank @Abide, @Al Sisti, @Whimsy, @boharr, @MarkWoychick, and @Joe Ross for their pretesting and technical help.
Pretty sure this wasn't intended but the clue to 1A is especially clever because in cryptics "light" can mean the answer to the clue, so it's the "first light" of the puzzle
