20 Most Epic Movie Moments Of 2016
10. Sabotage - Star Trek Beyond
Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and co. realise that in order to disrupt Krall's (Idris Elba) drone army, they need to transmit a dissonant signal that will break their attack formation.
It turns out that The Beastie Boys' classic tune Sabotage is just the signal (not to mention one of Kirk's favourite songs), causing the drones to explode while the Enterprise can soar through the fiery wreckage without being hassled.
Though it's definitely a case of deus-ex machina, at least Justin Lin had the good humour to make it both hilarious and ludicrously entertaining, while giving a fun nod back to Kirk's love of the song in the 2009 Trek's opening flashback.
Plus, hearing Sabotage blasting out of a cinema's sound system accompanied by huge explosions is just all kinds of awesome.
