8 Things You Always See in Those Dystopian Future Movies

It's pretty much guaranteed that the protagonist will lose one of their only allies (not the hot love interest, of course), in the opening movie.
As seen in:

• The Hunger Games: Katniss makes an alliance with young Rue, but can't save her from death in the arena.
• Divergent: Tris is forced to kill Will, one of her best friends in Dauntless, when he is under Erudite's control.
• The Maze Runner: Thomas's first friend in the maze, Chuck, tragically sacrifices himself to save Thomas.
