Here Comes the Boom

The movie Here Comes the Boom fits the hero archetype because Scott Voss is doing something dangerous to raise money for the music program at the high school he works at. Scott Voss wants to become a successful mixed martial arts fighter to get the money.  Scott is just a biology teacher that has no experience in fighting other then back in high school. But Scott doesn’t care because even if he loses he still gets $10,000. The UFC wanted Scott to come to Grand Las Vegas and fight for $50,000. When he got there he found out all the schools money and the money that he already won from previous fights was stolen. At that point Scott would have to win the UFC fight in order to save the music program or everything he has done would be worthless. He was fighting Ken Dietrich that said he was fighting someone that doesn’t deserve to be in a UFC fight. As Scott walks out in front of everyone on the day of the fight he sees that the kids in his music program were playing his song and showed up to support him. Scott Voss ends up winning the fight somehow and getting $50,000 for the school. I think he is a hero for putting his life at risk just to help the kids at his school.
