Stories regarding Alien Abductions typically involve aliens, whether Little Green Men or The Greys or whatever else, abducting unwitting humans (or cattle), experimenting on them and then returning them with no memory of what had happened to them, assuming they'll even return them at all. Any witnesses are likely to be dismissed as crazy and the government, if they're aware of it, will probably just cover it up. However, things don't always go that easy. Sometimes, the abductees are able to escape and fight back, causing quite a bit of trouble for their alien kidnappers. The escaped humans can team up not only with each other, but with other aliens that had similarly been kidnapped from elsewhere. They can also get their hands on the aliens' own weapons and turn them against them. Sub-trope of Alien Abduction. Can go hand-in-hand with Humans Are Warriors. |

This is the premise of Predators. A group of humans have been abducted by the titular Predators and taken to a "hunting preserve" on a different world. However, the Predators deliberately take humans that no one will miss and will put up a good fight - Special Forces types on highly-dangerous classified missions, cold-blooded mercenaries, serial rapists and murderers. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise: "North Star" reveals that in the 19th century, humans were abducted from Earth by the Skagarans. Several thousand humans were taken from America's western rocky desert regions (with their horses, dogs and cattle). They were then forced to work as slaves, helping the Skagarans start a colony on a planet in the Delphic Expanse. However, by the mid-22nd century, the descendants of the abductees have overthrown their Skagaran masters. | |

Fortean Times reports frequently on the latest stories of abductions, and charts how the emphasis has changed and mutated ever since the original Betty and Barney Hill abduction half a century ago. On one occassion, the magazine reported on a claimed abductee's story that whatever the form of paralysis the aliens placed on him prior to abduction and an attenpt at probing, it wasn't nearly effective enough: the abductee recalls the aliens suddenly getting very worried indeed that he woke up on the slab and swung his legs off it. When the human ran at them - in panic more than rage - grabbed one, and demanded to be let off the ship and taken home right now - they scuttled away in panic. The abductee then recalls waking up in his own bed, regretting he hadn't really lost his temper and thumped a few... | |

Invoked in the Supernatural episode "Clap Your Hands if You Believe...". When the Winchesters investigate reports of Alien Abductions, Crop Circles, and lights in the sky in Elwood, Dean seemingly gets kidnapped by aliens. When he later returns, Dean explains that, when they tried to pull him towards some sort of table, he resisted by hacking away and firing at them. Surprised by this, the aliens returned him. However, it's ultimately revealed that the "aliens" were actually fairies. | |

Zigzagged in The Lost Regiment. A regiment of Union infantry and a light artillery brigade are abducted and transported to a planet called Valennia. There they find descendants of other human groups that have been abducted throughout history. However, the abductions weren't intentional. The race that built the mysterious gate (9-foot tall humanoids) has since bombed itself back to the stone age. Their remnants have forbidden all technological advancement and live a nomadic lifestyle, traveling the planet in vast hordes. They keep the transported humans as their vassals, demanding they provide them with "cattle" (they like human flesh). The Americans are the first to successfully fight back and teach the locals how to industrialize and build a proper Civil War-era army. | |

In Cowboys & Aliens, it's eventually revealed that Jake Lonergan and his wife Alice had been kidnapped by the aliens. Jake witnessed his wife being autopsied and subsequently incinerated by an alien doctor. When the alien doctor tried to do the same to him, Jake managed to scar him with his own equipment and subsequently escaped with the alien doctor's Arm Cannon attached to his forearm. However, a side-effect of Jake's exposure to the aliens' control device resulted in him being rendered amnesiac, unable to remember anything about his past until he regained them later on. | |

In The Thief of Baghdad, the main character ends up being abducted by a flying saucer, right in front of the guards that were chasing him. The guards run away, assuming the troublemaker was taken to be punished by the "chariot of Saint Khidr". The Grey-like aliens try experimenting on him, except he manages to break free and fights back. Eventually, they explain that they're not here to harm anyone. They're studying humans before extending their offer to join the galactic community. However, the main character's actions result in them leaving and never coming back. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: Voyager: "The 37's" revealed that, in 1937, an alien species called the Briori abducted over three hundred Humans from Earth, including famous female pilot Amelia Earhart, and transported them to a planet in the Delta Quadrant to be utilized as slave labor. The Human slaves revolted, however, and overthrew their Briori masters, taking their weapons and technology, and eventually establishing a thriving settlement. Star Trek: Enterprise: "North Star" reveals that in the 19th century, humans were abducted from Earth by the Skagarans. Several thousand humans were taken from America's western rocky desert regions (with their horses, dogs and cattle).

An unusual example in a Dexter's Laboratory short, in which Dexter becomes so fed up with his sister Dee-Dee that he allows some aliens to abduct her so he can have some peace. While he becomes very remorseful for what he did and goes to get her back, Dee-Dee's customary barrage of extremely destructive antics and curious mischief had done so much damage to the aliens' ship that when Dexter arrives to perform his rescue they gleefully hand Dee-Dee back. | |
