Ignoring Orders To "Do The Right Thing"

Edit this Page
The content below is entirely editable.

In which soldiers, police officers, or someone in another kind of strict hierarchical organization is given explicit orders from a superior, only to ignore, disobey, or explicitly rebel against those orders because they believe that following them would be wrong.

In movies, the military just doesn't work the way real life does. If you receive an order from a superior in the movies this becomes highly optional! Who needs to follow orders when the far more divisive thing to do is to become a cowboy, do what ever it takes to save the girl/family and take on those terrorists.  
 
Those orders are only for show, right? The head honcho's only gave you those orders to look like they are still in control and really want you to jump down and take on a hundred guys alone... Right? 
 
Warning: Taking on terrorists with your bare fists alone can be hazardous to your health. You've been warned!
