* The Joes in ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' are this, which is weird considering the whole "Real American Heroes" thing from the original cartoon and comics. Heavy Duty is British, Breaker is French and Snake Eyes is actually ''from'' Japan instead of just learning to be a ninja there. Hell, their base isn't even on American soil, it's in the Egyptian desert.
* ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'' (2007). The crew of ''Icarus II'' are American, Chinese and Japanese, as they were the countries most likely to have major space programs when the movie is set (in 2057). India and Brazil were also suggested, but it was decided to leave them out to avoid a too-disparate cast.
* And the 1955 sci-fi movie ''Conquest of Space'' has a cast of exaggerated accents from all over the world on the first trip to Mars.
* ''Film/TheFall'', for fairy tale purposes.
* The ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' has a partial example in NEST. While only American and British forces have any serious screentime in the film representing humanity alongside the Autobots, the prequel comics suggest the involvement of other nations, while the prequel novel features NEST agents from Israel, Russia and Japan. Michael Bay wanted Bundeswehr troops, but this was vetoed by the German government.
* ''Film/StreetFighter The Movie'': the good guys this due to the fact its a [[FictionalUnitedNations UN-like task force]] employing people from over the world, with an American as the leader, with a (female) Brit, a Japanese and a Mexican-Native as lieutenants, and a Brazilian soldier as his best friends. Their numbers are bolstered by a thief duo made up of an American and a Japanese, and a reporter trio with a Chinese woman, a Hawaian and an African-American. [[spoiler:At the end of the movie, a Russian on the side of the bad guys redeems himself by helping them escape]].
* A classic example would be ''Film/Sahara1943''. Here we had an American tank crew (commanded by Creator/HumphreyBogart) pick up: a bunch of British Soldiers (one upper-crust officer, one working class), one Aussie, one South African, one Sudanese (British Colonial), one Free Frenchman, and two prisoners (one very Nazi German pilot, one harmless Italian). These (Western) Allies in miniature then hole up at the only water source for 100 miles and try to play Alamo with a German battalion. Though in those days, it was more of a propaganda emphasis on Allied unity in the face of the Nazi threat.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' once had a movie called ''12 To The Moon'': It featured a Nigerian Muslim pilot (who exclaims "Praise Allah!" when landing the ship), as well as scientists from the USSR, France, Japan, and Turkey. Not to mention the Jewish guy who discovers his German comrade is the [[AllGermansAreNazis son of a notorious Nazi]] (they eventually become friends just in time to make a HeroicSacrifice together). Of course, the mission is led by the hunky all-American beefcake guy, a fact that Mike and the 'bots are quick to lampoon. Still, considering this movie was made '''in 1954''', it's actually a legitimately impressive stab at diversity, despite not being completely free from UnfortunateImplications.
* In ''Film/PacificRim'', with the entire world in danger of being attacked by {{Kaiju}}, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps is formed by 21 nations across the Pacific Ocean to contain, control and eliminate the Kaiju. The four remaining active [[HumongousMecha Jaegers]] are made from and piloted by people from various nations, including the United States, Japan, Russia, China, and Australia. France has also provided some of the science and Great Britain has provided pilots. Several of the top scientists are German or Chinese.
* ''Film/{{Elysium}}'': Delacourt is French and the president of Elysium is Indian. Only three characters in Los Angeles are Caucasian (the WhiteMaleLead [though with the name [=DaCosta=] and his español-hablando childhood, he could be a light-skinned hispanic], his unnamed supervisor and Carlyle), and there's a token black dude, but the rest are Latino, and Max is fluent in Spanish. The only East Asian we see is an Elysium biotechnician in one scene.
* The Cleaners shown in ''Film/UnderworldEvolution'' (and described in more detail in the novelization) are made up of soldiers from all over the world, including special forces and intelligence agencies (CIA, [=MI6=], and Mossad are mentioned).
* The titular ''Film/{{Megaforce}}'' has members from the USA (one of which so much a proud GoodOlBoy that he wears the Confederate Flag as a personalized patch), Japan, Mexico, Italy and other places-and all of the firepower it has (except for the stuff made in-house) "fell off the back of a truck" with the governments' blessings.
* ''Film/JamesBond'': SPECTRE, the titular NebulousEvilOrganisation that 007 fights with, is composed of a multinational team in its ruling panel. Ernst Stavro Blofeld, SPECTRE's head honcho and Bond's ArchEnemy, is of Greco-Polish heritage in the original novels and in the earlier films, and is an Austrian in ''Film/{{Spectre}}''. Many of Blofeld's henchmen are of varying ideologies and nationalities, including {{Renegade Russian}}s, {{French Jerk}}s, {{Evil Brit}}s, FarEastAsianTerrorists, DirtyCommunists, ThoseWackyNazis, ScaryBlackMen, TheMafia, etc. Now, while most of them don't get along due to conflicting opinions, but how has Blofeld has [[EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily managed to keep the lid between them?]] He actually cares more about how much profits his EvilPlan will generate.
* In ''Film/TheManFromUNCLE2015'', the new U.N.C.L.E. ends up like this: there's an American, a Russian, a British and a German.
* Not as diverse as others, but with two Americans, a Canadian, an Englishman, a Scotsman, a... ''Zanzibarian'' and Somewhere-In-Africa-But-Looks-Mildly-Arabian, ''Film/FiveWeeksInABalloon'' took a stab at this.
* ''Film/K2SirenOfTheHimalays'': The main climbers are American, German and British.
* Sinbad's crew in ''Film/SinbadOfTheSevenSeas'' has a [[HornyVikings Norse warrior]], a Chinese martial artist, and a Turkish cook, among others.
* Franchise/IndianaJones frequently finds himself in these:
** In ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', he and fellow American Marion Ravenwood are joined by Egyptian digger Sallah.
** In ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom Temple of Doom]]'', he and fellow American Willie Scott are joined by a Chinese youth known simply as Short Round.
** Sallah returns to work with Indy in ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade Last Crusade]]'' along with Indy's Scottish father and Englishman Marcus Brody. Interestingly, the villain team is also one of these with German Colonel Vogel, [[spoiler:Austrian Elsa Schneider, and American Walter Donovan.]]
** Marion returns in ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]'' with her (also) American son "Mutt" Williams only to be joined by their British friend Oxley. Mac, also British, would count [[spoiler:if he weren't a traitor.]]
* The team sent to stop General Ludendorff in ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' consists of an American pilot, a French-Moroccan ConMan, a Scottish sharpshooter, a Blackfoot smuggler, and a Greek/Amazon demigoddess.
* ''Film/VanHelsing'' has the Knights of the Holy Order, the monster-hunting organization which the titular character belongs to. Though located in the Vatican and run by Catholics, it has Muslim clerics, Jewish rabbis and Buddhist monks among their numbers working together to stop supernatural threats.

These (Western) Allies in miniature then hole up at the only water source for 100 miles and try to play Alamo with a German battalion.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'' (2007). The crew of ''Icarus II'' are American, Chinese and Japanese, as they were the countries most likely to have major space programs when the movie is set (in 2057). India and Brazil were also suggested, but it was decided to leave them out to avoid a too-disparate cast.
* ''Film/TheFall'', for fairy tale purposes.
* The ''TransformersFilmSeries'' has a partial example in NEST. While only American and British forces have any serious screentime in the film representing humanity alongside the Autobots, the prequel comics suggest the involvement of other nations, while the prequel novel features NEST agents from Israel, Russia and Japan. Michael Bay wanted Bundeswehr troops, but this was vetoed by the German government.
* ''Film/StreetFighter The Movie''
* A classic example would be ''Sahara''. Here we had an American tank crew (commanded by HumphreyBogart) pick up: a bunch of British Soldiers (one upper-crust officer, one working class), one Aussie, one South African, one Sudanese (British Colonial), one Free Frenchman, and two prisoners (one very Nazi German pilot, one harmless Italian). These (Western) Allies in miniature then hole up at the only water source for 100 miles and try to play Alamo with a German battalion. Though in those days, it was more of a propaganda emphasis on Allied unity in the face of the Nazi threat.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' once had a movie called ''12 To The Moon'': It featured a Nigerian Muslim pilot (who exclaims "Praise Allah!" when landing the ship), as well as scientists from the USSR, France, Japan, and Turkey. Not to mention the Jewish guy who discovers his German comrade is the [[AllGermansAreNazis son of a notorious Nazi]] (they eventually become friends just in time to make a HeroicSacrifice together). Of course, the mission is led by the hunky all-American beefcake guy, a fact that Mike and the 'bots are quick to lampoon. Still, considering this movie was made '''in 1954''', it's actually a legitimately impressive stab at diversity, despite not being completely free from UnfortunateImplications.
