## Overview

Movies-React is a browser-based movie discovery app: users open the home route to see popular films or search by title, then can save films and revisit them on the favorites route. The main flow runs through React routing, the Home page, an API service, and TMDb; MovieCard connects display to favorite actions. Favorites are kept in shared context and persisted in local storage. The README documents responsive design; styling files are present but omitted here. The graph reflects sampled runtime source, with no inferred links for unsampled details.
