Top 5 Global Hostage Scenes

Global hostage situations are rife in scifi movies. Some are lame while others have a place in the history books. We are not talking about "mere" hostage scenes involving a few people, but rather the threat of an extinction level event being battered around if the villain does not have his way.

We will look at some really cool ones. If you have other suggestions, let me know.

1.Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen

The "we are not alone" question is let out of the bag,when the Fallen hooks himself up to telecommunication wires and transmits his threats to the entire world; asking for Sam in return for man's survival.

2.Superman

Terence Stamp's portrayal of Superman's nemesis was much superior to Callum's. And in this video , you can see why.

3.Man of Steel

General Zod announced himself to earthlings in the most creepy way. Demanding the people of Earth handover to him in 24 hours, a Kryptonian living amongst them or else.

Star Trek

USS Enterprise finds the planet in grave danger from an alien probe attempting to contact now-extinct humpback whales. The crew travel to Earth's past to find whales who can answer the probe's call (Wikipedia) or else the planet is doomed.
