Climax

In literature, the climax of a story results in a continuous buildup of the preceding rising action. It is in this point where suspense has reached its peak, and it makes the reader wonder what will happen next. Basically, the climax is fueled most by the actions of the character(s), which results in the immediately succeeding crisis and falling action.
A few examples of climaxes in works mentioned on this wiki:
* When Gregorio is about to be shot by Frank, Niko, Miles, and Travis in Vietato.
* When Gil and friends face down the enemy troops of SPETSZLA in A Second War.
