Movies without the "Humans Never Give Up" trope
If you're tired of Humans Never Give Up, these are the movies in our catalog that don't lean on it. Facing impossible odds, humans endure, adapt, and find reasons to keep going. Resilience and refusal to surrender is humanity's defining and most admirable trait.
