10 Best "Everything You Know Is A Lie" Moments In Sci-Fi Movies
7. Mr. Glass - Unbreakable
2000's Unbreakable opens with David Dunn escaping unscathed from a deadly train crash.
Dunn realises the reason he's unharmed is not because he's played by Bruce Willis - although that probably helps - but rather because he's got superpowers. Armed with this knowledge, Dunn sets out to hone his skills with the help of Elijah Price, a comic book enthusiast with brittle bone disease.
Those two things aren't connected. Liking comic books only harms you socially, not physically.
Everything comes to a head when Dunn finds out that Elijah hasn't been 100% honest with him. It turns out that Price was the one who orchestrated the train crash in the first place, to test whether or not David was actually superpowered. He was correct, but at the cost of many lives.
This leads to a tense staredown between the two former friends and the revelation that Price also wields fantastical abilities. He announces his intentions to go forward under the new supervillain name of Mr. Glass.
It's a great twist, one that nicely reframes the rest of the film. Although, we should have seen it coming really. This is an M. Night Shyamalan movie after all.
