From The Fifth Element to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, these are the best movies where the hero and villain never meet.
In the vast majority of movies, there's a hero and there's a villain. This classic struggle between good and evil, between virtue and vice, between courage and cruelty, is a trope that can be seen in most stories told throughout the course of human history, and it's a particularly fun one to watch in films.
9 'True Romance' The first movie that Quentin Tarantino wrote but didn't direct, Tony Scott's True Romance is an oddball crime romance about a nerd who steals cocaine from his new wife's pimp and tries to sell it in Hollywood, causing the mobsters who own the drugs to pursue the couple. There are many things that the movie is famous for: Its stunning visuals, entertaining story full of humor and sci-fi thrills, and Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman's charming performances as the hero and villain, respectively. Interestingly enough, these two characters never come face-to-face at any point during the story, and in fact don't really know who each other is.
Fury Road doesn't need any more complexity, as it takes all sorts of fun twists throughout its breezy runtime. In the midst of the mayhem, though, it may be easy to overlook the fact that Max never truly meets the man that he's escaping from, the mysterious Immortan Joe . 4 'The Great Dictator' Amid World War II, yet at a time when the full extent of the cruelty of Hitler, Mussolini, and fascism wasn't yet common knowledge, Charles Chaplin made the quasi-prophetical The Great Dictator, where a dictator tries to expand his empire while a poor Jewish barber tries to avoid persecution from the villain's regime.Chaplin's jump from silent cinema to talkies was a seamless one, as The Great Dictator is just as hilarious as his non-speaking work.
2 'Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope' Also known as Episode IV — A New Hope, Star Wars is easily one of the most popular and well-known movies ever made. Its story, closely following the Hero's Journey story archetype, is a space opera about a young farmer thrown into an intergalactic adventure far greater than anything he'd ever hoped for.
