Pretty good about walking on water.
I was thinking of one of the spoilers, Superman II, and.................................
..........................................The Red Tent. Because, after all, ice is water, too!
As far as three bad ass/nerd movies:
Ordeal in the Arctic
GoldenEye
The Wild Geese
It's all a matter of interpretation. Let's look at each flick. "Ordeal..." will be in spoilers for while a true story, I am not sure if most have seen it.
The bad boys are the C-130 air crew, Richard Chamberlain in the lead. The scientist is Dr. Wilma De Groot (Catherine Mary Stewart). The plane crashes, part of the air crew is killed immediately. Chamberlain eventually freezes to death in his travels to those survivors who can't be moved to the tail section while De Groot keeps the survivors assembled in the tail alive.
GoldenEye: The bad boys are the Russian military, the hacker is
Natalya Simonova.
If one needs definite proof that the Russian military was there to protect her, consider the MiG's that responded to the alarm. The protection military is decimated, Simonova carries on the mission to keep GoldenEye out of the wrong hands.
The Wild Geese: The bad boys are the Wild Geese, the nerd is President Limbani. As the mercenary force is whittled down protecting him, it is Limbani and his reputation that is vital for mission success, such as the survival of those still alive. From being the source of a popular revolution to getting them escape landing clearances, he is the key.
As I said, depends on how you look at it.......and I'm more in this for finding alternate ways at looking at movies than winning the question.
