10 Toughest Movie Heroes Ever

10. Indiana Jones - Indiana Jones Franchise

There are many reasons why Indiana Jones might be one of the best action-adventure heroes of all time; a perfect blend of brains and brawn, with just the right amount of swashbuckling to make Indy one of the slickest, most charismatic and all-around fun protagonists on screen.

What makes Indiana so tough? Besides the obvious that no matter how many times he takes a punch, he's back up on his feet ready to throw one twice as hard at a Nazi henchman or cultist's henchman. Indy's place on this list isn't just his adept skill at throwing a punch or two. His survival rate for any situation makes him one of the most resourceful and dependent heroes on this list, (not counting fridge-gate).

His ability to recognise and assess the odds of a situation makes him almost bulletproof, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of temple mythology, Indy has developed a second sense for booby traps and elaborate ancient mechanics that have allowed him to escape even the trickiest of situations, which makes him kind of a superhero in some way.

Between narrowly avoiding razor-blades, bouldering rocks and poison dart traps, as well as punching enemies with such might it sounds like two planks of wood getting down and dirty, Indiana Jones never backs down and never stops until the job is done.

Usually, that involves snatching something to stick in a museum, but we don't have to address that issue just yet.
