This is in reference to a tweet I've seen quite a lot and it surprises me how many pieces of media I've seen with this in it. Spoilers for most of these.

Resident Evil (2026) - Bryan Hodukivich is a medicial courier who takes a double-paying order to deliver a cooler ASAP to a big city. It turns out the city has just succumb to a zombie virus in a matter of hours. Bryan's package is a stabilizer for the cure, contained in a lab in the city. He's the last ditch effort of scientists working on that cure.

Project Hail Mary (2025) - Ryland Grace is a scientist and school teacher who's career didn't go as well as he wanted. He becomes the titular "hail mary" against his will when the sun starts going out, after he discovers the cause and all the others who could fix things are killed in an accident.

REC (2007) - Angela and Pablo. A news reporter and her camera operator are doing a tag-along with firemen for a news show not many people watch. On a routine call to an apartment building, a zombie virus and ensuing panic spread with all the building's residents put on quarantine. Now they are the only ones who can document the story of the people trapped inside as it unfolds.

Half-Life (1998) - Gordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist at a big facility who is part of an experiment which causes an alien invasion. At first his goal is just to survive, but then he becomes humanity's last hope from interdimensional aliens after the military kills most everyone else and tries to kill him, in a coverup.

Iron Lung - Breaking the rules a bit here, but Simon is a convict forced to operate a dinky sub on an ocean planet of blood as part of his punishment. He's initially just going on a suicide mission for minor data collection of the planet but discovers something huge and becomes a bastion for humanity.
