The best sci-fi heroes manage to hold our attention whether they're plucky upstarts or reluctant heroes. As long as they captivate us, nothing else…
The idea of the sci-fi hero has evolved a great deal since the earliest days of the genre. From Buck Rogers all the way to Katniss Everdeen, what these heroes represent has changed a great deal. In spite of those changes, though, there are a few things that every great sci-fi hero has in common.
9. Snake Plissken, Escape from New York Kurt Russell was John Carpenter’s consummate screen partner, and Escape from New York may be the movie that best sums up their collaboration. Playing Snake Plissken, Russell is all aggression and pent-up rage. 7. Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games movies Explicitly modeled on characters like the Alien franchise’s Ripley, Katniss is so deeply compelling in part because she wants nothing to do with the drama she finds herself in. She finds herself in the Hunger Games because she wants to protect her sister, and eventually takes down an entire authoritarian regime simply because she’s told to.
5. Dominic Cobb, Inception A more recent addition to this pantheon, Dominic Cobb is one of Christopher Nolan’s greatest protagonists, in part because he spends so much of the movie investigating his own complicated backstory. More than anything, though, Dom is our anchor for understanding the complicated world of dreams that Nolan has carefully crafted.
