One of my favorite tropes (at least I think it's a trope. Not sure how common it is) is the “unknown hero”.

Funny enough, it's a remake. In the conversation about ...

The 90's movie “The Firm” is a good thriller. I just rewatched it and it holds up very well. Recently I picked up the book to check it out.
