Atticus Finch vs. Captain Miller

Atticus Finch

As seen in: "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Atticus Finch isn't like many of the heroes on this list. He doesn't possess any superhuman ability or skill, and he solves his problems by different means than brute force. Atticus is fighting a different kind of fight with his own set of skills. Atticus is a southern lawyer in the time of the depression. He steps up to defend an African-American worker who is wrongly accused of rape charges. He tries to stand up against the social injustice of the time to defend a fellow human being that deserves better. At the same time that this is happening, Atticus is dedicated to raising his children and teaching them how to be accepting and good in a hateful world. Atticus may not be a fighter in the conventional sense, but he is a true hero.

Captain Miller

As seen in: "Saving Private Ryan"

Captain Miller is a good soldier, but also a human being. He feels the pressures of WWII all around him as he leads a squad through Nazi occupied France.

Private Ryan, the youngest of four brothers, is now the only one surviving. Captain Miller receives orders to retrieve Ryan from the heart of France and return him home.

Above all he focuses on trying to keep his men alive, caring more for them than himself.

Andy Dufresne

As seen in: "The Shawshank Redemption"

Andy Dufresne was wrongly imprisoned for murdering his wife and her lover. Being thrown into the ineffective and inept prison system, Andy faces many injustices, ranging from the exploitation of his skills by the guards and director to physical and sexual abuse from his fellow inmates.

Andy seeks to preserve the good in others and nurture his fellow inmates to not only survive the terrors of the system but also be able to survive on the outside. His care for others and his hope for them to embrace culture and intellectualism over violence and anger makes Andy a truly pure and virtuous hero of movie history.

Juror #8 vs. President Marshall

Juror #8

As seen in: “12 Angry Men”
Although we never learn the name of this mysterious character, he leaves a great impression as a man who stands up for what he thinks is right and defends those who need him most. During what appears to be an open-and-shut case, 11 of the 12 jurors quickly agree that the defendant is guilty of murder and should be sentenced to death. Juror #8, however, refuses to accept the simple and less thought-out answer, and leads the group on an exploration of the facts as they know them and how they are relevant to the case. This man stands up to 11 of his peers who adamantly disagree with him and slowly begins to win them to his side, showing both his fortitude and moral standing. Juror #8 is he epitome of the unsung hero, representing what every modern educated American should strive to be.

President Marshall

As seen in: “Air Force One”

President Marshall is an intellectual diplomat and a fitting leader of the United States. In addition to these more mundane skills, he is also a skilled fighter and strategist. Marshall gets a chance to showcase these traits when Air force One is suddenly hijacked by a terrorist group. In addition to the President, the plane also contains the vast majority of the white house staff and the President's wife and children. Marshall is given the option early on to escape the fiasco and guarantee his own safety, but he refuses to leave without first saving his family and colleagues. Marshall values the safety of those he cares about over that of his own, making him a compassionate as well as bold hero.
