There are actually a number of good cinematic depictions of game theory. The ferry boat scene from "Dark Knight" (2008) is one for the ages, although I find Cyrus' speech at the beginning of "The Warriors" (1979) to be a really nice depiction of a prisoner's dilemma. I teach "Children of Men" (2006) as part of my politics and film class, and I find that game theory is...

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest star of all time. Everyone else (Cary Grant, Bruce Willis, James Stewart, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise etc) are all mere mortals who you may like, but are still just people.
