The main protagonist is Billy Hope, he is a stereotypical male as he is portrayed as being strong, masculine, dominant and assertive. This is usually the role of a male as they are seen to he strong and emotionally strong. He also challenges this stereotype as he cries when his daughter is taken away from him. This is a contrast to a typical male in films as they aren't seen to be emotional.
His wife plays a dominant female role as she is supporting her husband which is stereotypical as a female is treated as being inferior to men as they are the dominant ones. She is supportive of her husband as tries to be there for him at all times.
White males - seen to be dominant and in control always superior.
Villain - not white and is disliked, this is usually the role of someone who isn't white as it is stereotypical of a white male to be the hero.
Location is in America which reinforces the stereotype of a white male playing the role of the hero.
