Reign of Fire is a movie that showed that in a world ending apocalypse, the first things the British do is build a castle, adapt to living in fear and hide to try to wait out a fucking dragon invasion that spans the globe.

Its not until a psychotic American shows up sitting on a tank that they even try to fight back whatsoever, and he has to teach them how fucking technology works (they use helicopters and radar instead of the Brits using a fucking falcon and a telescope) as well as basic biology like "if you shoot things they die."

And just like real life, only after almost all the Americans get killed trying to save them that the Brits grow enough of a spine to fight back and then act like they are the heroes for weathering the storm.

Great movie, but the political joke there is almost hilariously on point.
