Screenrant's 10 Best Midpoint Plot Twists in Movie History, Ranked

Every screenwriting guru teaches about the importance of a good midpoint. The middle of a movie's structure should have a significant event that raises the stakes and gives the protagonist a forceful push on their narrative journey. Some movies don't have a discernible midpoint, and these movies tend to be the weaker ones, because it's a sign that the structure as a whole is pretty flimsy.
