''Then'' it turns out that Jose survived that though, and he ultimately makes it to the end of the movie, [[spoiler: unlike Cole himself]].

Urt People are humans who live within a herd of urts, are vaguely urt-like in appearance, and can "speak" urt.)

Cole is the one who gets taken and subjected to this, but then he encounters Jose, also having been sent through time and in a far more precarious situation than Cole himself is. ''Then'' it turns out that Jose survived that though, and he ultimately makes it to the end of the movie, [[spoiler: unlike Cole himself]].
* ''Film/ScienceFictionVolumeOneTheOsirisChild'': Aware of the warden experimenting on the prisoners, Sy and the prisoners he shares his lunch table with got themselves sent to solitary as part of an escape plan, but one of them was taken by the warden instead and is seen being subjected to the transformation as the others undertake their plan.
* ''Film/NoEscape1984'' Plays with this. The main characters neurotic cellmate is terrified of [[BigBrotherIsWatching being caught doing something on the prison surveillance]] and deported to Absolom (an island where troublesome prisoners are dumped to live off the land and kill each other). Within a scene or two he is indeed about to be subjected to this fate, but when TheHero tries to defend him, the warden decides to send him to Absolom instead.
