The climax (or "turning point") of a narrative work is its point of highest tension or drama in which the solution is given.[1][2]
Anti-Climax
An anti-climax is where something which would appear to be difficult to solve in a plot is solved through something trivial. For example, destroying a heavily guarded facility would require advanced technology, teamwork and weaponry for a climax, but in an anti-climax it may just consist of pushing a red button which says "Emergency Self-Destruct".
