18 Heroic Sacrifices in Movies That Are Burned Into Our Memories (Ranker)

"There's perhaps nothing more memorable than a heroic sacrifice - major characters who willingly sacrifice themselves to save the lives of others, be it an individual, a group, or even the whole world. More often than not, these moments are climatic, capping off an already emotional, visceral narrative/character arc with a proverbial mic drop forever burned into the audience's memories. We all search for meaning in movies; watching a character learn that life is about more than just themselves or solidify their value defending the future tends to pull at the heartstrings. Big time. It's a movie trope that seldom gets old. Even in fiction, we're never ready to say goodbye. In honor of their bravery and selflessness, here are some of the best heroic sacrifices in movie history - the ones we'll never forget." - ranker.com
