Live Poll: Serious Heroes in Outdated Science Fiction Movies

@Breumaster, For your consideration: Coma https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077355/ Geneviève Bujold played Dr. Susan Wheeler in the 1978 film Coma, is a bright and persistent surgical resident who uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving her hospital's sudden influx of inexplicable comas. Despite facing skepticism and dismissal from her male colleagues, she bravely investigates, ultimately exposing a horrifying organ harvesting scheme. Forbidden Planet https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049223/ Leslie Nielsen played Commander John J. Adams in Forbidden Planet, is the resolute and principled leader of the United Planets cruiser C-57D, tasked with investigating a lost expedition on Altair IV. He embodies the classic space captain, navigating the planet's mysteries while confronting Dr. Morbius and his isolated world. Flash Gordon https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027623/ Buster Crabbe played Flash Gordon in the 1936 film serial brings to life the heroic comic-strip character as he embarks on an adventure to the planet Mongo. As Flash, Crabbe is a brave and determined individual who consistently fights against the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless to save Earth and his friends. Buck Rogers https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032290/ Buster Crabbe played Buck Rogers in the 1939 serial, portraying a 20th-century pilot who awakens 500 years in the future after being put into suspended animation. He quickly joins the fight against the tyrannical dictator Killer Kane, using his ingenuity and bravery to aid the resistance in a futuristic Earth.

I finally found some women for the list. Half of them are not the best picks, but still memorable. I have to admit that I heard of them first time. But on the other hand I didn't want to make the list just male. It's a pitty that women were not earlier accepted as heroines. Times change. In 30 years it won't be difficult to make such an idea weighted with women and man equally.

Corrections: exemplary hero 5: uncovers 6: works on a revolutionary device that records and plays back human experiences directly from the brain. As the technology advances, he becomes deeply involved in its ethical implications 8: who is assigned 10: society's survival 12: She seduces her male target while planning his execution in style 15: threatens 16: protagonist 17: mysterious 21: begins 31: bringing to life 32: walks the line
