Do you have examples of movies that have a huge spike in stakes almost at the end?

Examples: Se7en, Rogue One

Please use spoilers if you want to explain why

    Only The Brave.

    If you go in without knowing the story, it starts off like the plot arc of a sports movie:

    • An outsider joins, and struggles to fit in with a close-knit team
    • The team is trying for a promotion
    • We see teaching of the team’s methods
    • Victory at a smaller event
    • Outsider is accepted as part of the team
    • Long period of training for the big event

    Unlike the sports movies, the last few minutes of this are not at all victorious…
