10 Movie Characters Who Broke Their Own Rules

10. Lee Abbott - A Quiet Place

When living in a world in which even the slightest sound could bring down a vicious alien killing machine upon you with no remorse, there is one key and literally unspoken rule: don't make a sound.

A Quiet Place gave a horrifying example of what could happen should this rule be broken right at the very start, when Beau (Cade Woodward), the youngest child of the Abbott family, fired up his new toy rocket and was brutally killed for it.

Extreme lengths had to be taken in order to survive in this world, particularly when you throw in the wild card of a newborn baby, but everything comes back to being silent. Beau wasn't the only Abbott who broke this rule, however, as Lee (John Krasinski), the father of the family, made the ultimate sacrifice by shouting as loud as he could.

With the monsters bearing down on his children, this was about the only thing Lee could do to save them, and in doing so gave his life for them. It was an incredibly solemn and heart-wrenching moment, and something that any father would do for their children in a heartbeat.
