Pursued Protagonist | comment |
This is a standard opening for a movie, book, or cartoon — start with a protagonist in the adventure pursued by relentless, shadowy figures who outnumber them, whether it's on Hellish Horseback, spaceships, cars, roofhopping, or any of a thousand methods of pursuit. If the protagonist has escorts, expect them to wear copious amounts of red. If he is critically injured, he will inevitably survive just long enough to alert others. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Pursued Protagonist has a 50/50 chance of survival, much less escaping capture. However, they have a 100% chance of keeping their cargo out of enemy hands. Enter the real Hero who has been Easing into the Adventure and becomes the Pursued Protagonists' last desperate hope to keep their cargo safe, by handing them the MacGuffin, Phlebotinum, or a Fetch Quest Delivery Quest with little explanation of what exactly he's got in his hands, much less gotten into. Will he resist or embrace The Call to adventure? If the pursued protagonist survives, they will likely either become a Mentor to the hero, Love Interest, or otherwise become a steadfast ally. It's not uncommon for said Protagonist to require rescuing as one of the heroes' first tasks, either, for which they may need to gather allies. Bonus points if they're a Princess! Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Usually begins In Medias Res. If the hero gets pursued later in the story, expect a character briefly introduced earlier to rescue him, thus ending the chase. Subtrope of Cold Open. Can overlap with Dramatic Chase Opening. Compare Bring News Back. Subtrope of Herald. Not to be confused with Stern Chase which describes a plot of an ever-pursued protagonist. Examples |

Subverted in The Thing (1982): It starts off with a husky being pursued be Norwegians in a helicopter who are throwing sticks of dynamite. In retrospect, offering sanctuary to the pursued was probably not in the best interests of the protagonists. | |

Princess Tekla in the pilot for Shadow Raiders, fighting off her pursuers is what gets Graveheart and King Kryos to realize they haver a rather literal Enemy Mine on their hands. And once the Beast arrives at the Planet Cluster, and the heroes discover the World Engines, the rest of the series is spent fleeing their enemy. It catches up once, and snacks on one of the four main planets of the Cluster. |

This is actually how the original The Legend of Zelda begins, although this portion of the story takes place before the game. Impa, nursemaid to Princess Zelda, has been charged with finding a hero who can save Hyrule from Ganon. She is pursued in the forest by Ganon's mooks, only to be rescued most conveniently by the Designated Hero. | |

Jue of Final Flight of the Osiris in The Animatrix is a version of this. She's a strange example because she is delivering a message inside the Matrix while her crew mates are pursued by sentinels in the real world. Although this isn't the beginning of her story, it kicks off the Enter the Matrix video game and the second film. | |

Marcus Cole in the first episode of season three Babylon 5. G'kar in one season two episode. Babylon Five S 01 E 21 The Quality Of Mercy: An informant Lurker dies in Garibaldi's arms with the statement, "They're going to kill him." This triggers an investigation by Garibaldi, which unfortunately places Garibaldi in nearly the same situation later in the episode. |
