Top 10 Movie Characters Who Hit the Luck Jackpot (And Where to Stream Their Adventures)

Some movies are simply great forms of escapism, serving up lucky movie characters who overcome great odds and become daring heroes or heroines. They scale tall cliffs, navigate out of tough situations, and seem to have just the right solution for solving a problem or besting a villain.

So take comfort in this list of movie characters that seem to have all the luck and accomplish so much within their running time.
