Movies without the "One Hero Changes Everything" trope
If you're tired of One Hero Changes Everything, these are the movies in our catalog that don't lean on it. One exceptional individual matters more than institutions or collective action. Problems affecting millions are solved by a single remarkable person. Everyone else is passive.
