First Blood: The pivotal bridge scene, wherein Rambo -- having been given the bum's rush out of town by the Sheriff -- defiantly crosses back into town over the iconic bridge, and subsequently gets arrested.

Judging by past winners the categories are more of a guideline than true categories.

Saving Private Ryan

Literally every principal character has a helmet, and the climatic battle takes place in defense of a bridge (with God's own sniper, Pvt Jackson, positioned in a handy bell tower).

Edit: Because my words were bigly wrong. Sad!

Just watched Rogue One, so I'll go with that. Helmets and handcuffs, and the data tower and bridges of starships.

Excalibur. Gawain had a vision of finding the grail while hanging on the tree with all of the other failed knights. And Merlin foretold of Lancelot's betrayal of Arthur.

(Would have worked for the previous one too, dangit.)
