5. Hines Ward - The Dark Knight Rises
This entry could be extended to include the whole of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the American Football team who pose as the Gotham Rogues in The Dark Knight Rises. Hines Ward is the most prominent player on screen in what has to be one of the most visually remarkable movie scenes of recent years. A tracking shot follows Hines as he returns a kick while the ground beneath his feet is literally falling away as a result of Banes master plan of destruction. Filmed at the Steelers home ground of Heinz Field, the scene includes more than 10,000 extras who made up the fans at the fictional football game. It is a testament to Nolans painstaking strive for authenticity that the scene was shot on such a large scale with a stadium full of real people instead of opting for the easier alternative of using CGI technology. It all contributes to create a genuine atmosphere of panic as Bane reeks terror in front of the unsuspecting crowd.
