11	->''"You staged a mutiny because you thought mutineers were already running the ship."''
12	-->-- '''Kevyn''', ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary''
13
14	An Anti-Mutiny is a subtrope of TheMutiny where TheCaptain decides to disobey their orders, and the person responsible for the mutiny is actually the one being loyal to the crew's original mission or cause. Despite this, the mutineer is usually depicted as a villain (though they can be an AntiHero on occasion, especially if the captain is [[RebelliousRebel hypocritically condemning those "disloyal" to his new direction]] even as he disobeys his own orders). The person who decides to Anti-Mutiny is often a Second in Command, or NumberTwo.
15
16	The scenario leading up to an Anti-Mutiny usually goes as such: the crew of the CoolShip has a mission or goal that the captain is entrusted with. Usually it is a goal with extreme implications, such as an AlienInvasion that will destroy a planet or race. Then, for one reason or another, TheCaptain decides that he does not want to go through with the mission given by his higher powers. This is when the mutineer takes over, often by force, with the goal of making the crew resume the mission they were given by the higher powers in the first place. ConflictingLoyalty often ensues.
17
18	TheCaptain may try to BringThemAround, either before the mutiny, or while it is occurring; it can be interesting, since he can no longer rely on his authority as a captain, which they regard as forfeited by his acts.
19
20	In real life maritime law, gross misconduct by the captain of a ship is legally known as ''barratry'' (not to be confused with civilian barratry [[note]]harassing someone via a FrivolousLawsuit or a lawyer encouraging a potential client to make one[[/note]] or ecclesial barratry [[note]]Selling off church positions or otherwise asking for money for spiritual rewards, also known as Simony.[[/note]]); the response is often an Anti-Mutiny.

27	[[folder:Comic Books]]
28	* ''ComicBook/XMen'': ComicBook/{{Magneto}} pulls one of these in the "Age of X" storyline; Suspecting that something is not quite right, he rebels against his own rule, sending Shadowcat and Rogue to investigate their situation, and protects them when they are attacked by their former comrades.
29	[[/folder]]

31	[[folder:Fan Works]]
32	* ''Fanfic/{{Betastuck}}'': Despite not acting the way his programmers expected him to, Doc Scratch was merely fulfilling his purpose to make the necessary preparations for Lord English's arrival.
33	* ''Fanfic/ChangelingSpaceProgramAndTheMaretian'': After the Hab breach of Sol 88, Cherry Berry, who feels she has failed as leader of the pony crew, attempts to resign as mission commander. The others aren't having it, not even Spitfire, who up to this point has felt awkward about being the lowest-ranking member of the crew after being commander of Equestria's most elite military unit.
34	-->“Is it a mutiny when the crew is forcing the captain to keep giving orders?” Dragonfly asked.
35	-->“Yes!!” Cherry Berry snapped.
36	* ''Fanfic/ItsAboutTheBones'': This is what Crux saw his assassination attempt as. He wanted to burn out the corruption he saw as Gideon, infesting the very heart of the House. He was stopped by Harrow, the only person in the House who still cared about him, and who hated Gideon at least as much as he did.
37	* ''Fanfic/TheLunarRebellion'' is [[FramingDevice set up as]] an in-universe memoir by heroine Shadow Kicker (with notes by descendant and ''Fanfic/TheLifeAndTimesOfAWinningPony'' CharacterNarrator Cloud Kicker [[SwitchingPOV as well as various entries from other characters' accounts]] to fill in what blanks Shadow can't) telling about her legendary and eponymous Anti-Mutiny against her native territory of Pegasopolis, who are rebelling against [[PrincessesRule Princess]] [[TheHighQueen Celestia]] because they think [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen she's failing at her duties and having anypony who politically opposes her killed]]. The latter is actually not true, but she does admit to the former, and yet she just doesn't think abdicating is the proper penance. [[spoiler:And it isn't, the Lunars are simply Pegasus-supremacists, even under Rightly Doo, and feel betrayed that Celestia hangs out in Canterlot with all those snobby Unicorns rather than with them and that her attempts to prevent a war with the Griffons despite their obvious hostilities involve her kissing up to them rather than making it clear that the raids won't be tolerated.]]
38	* ''Fanfic/MegamiNoHanabira'': [[spoiler: Despite Lucifer's interference putting in motion a cascading series of failures for The Flock, Father Phillips stubbornly sticks to his original schemes of making the Flock [[MonsterProtectionRacket look like demon-hunting heroes]] even as his plans continue to crash down around him. Once his lieutenant Ethan is killed by the heroes, however, Phillips [[VillainousBreakdown finally snaps]] and orders the destruction of Kazamino and the slaughter of everyone in it, while he plans to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere ascend to angelhood and fuck off to heaven while Earth is destroyed by demons]]. His second-in-command Colette and a small group of Flock members promptly turn on him, forming their own subsidiary still loyal to the remains of the original plans: they plan to stop Phillips's rampage, defeat the other Demon Tamer factions, and try to create their originally-envisioned world theocracy in their own way.]]
39	* A personal version of this features in the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6127133/1/Stalemate Stalemate]]" when ''Voyager'', just prior to “[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS7E23Endgame Endgame]]”, is visited by a version of Chakotay from the future depicted [[Literature/StarTrekVoyagerRelaunch in the novels]] to tell Janeway how she will be assimilated by the Borg if she returns to Earth at this time. With the future Chakotay having taken steps to provide Tuvok with a cure for his own neural condition, the most urgent need for them to return has been lost, and while Janeway volunteers to stay behind so the crew can return to Earth, the entire crew submit a report confirming that they’re willing to stay in the Delta Quadrant so she won’t be assimilated. With their future weaponry from Admiral Janeway and Ambassador Chakotay’s future knowledge to aid their trip, Janeway resigns herself to the crew’s decision, observing that this is a rare occasion where the captain will side with the mutineers (even as she also makes it clear that this is a once-in-a-lifetime event).

41
42	[[folder:Film -- Animation]]
43	* Auto in ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', who takes over [[CoolSpaceShip The Axiom]] by force [[spoiler:and does not want it to return to Earth]] despite the captain's protests. However, Auto is simply following his [[MegaCorp programming]] (supported by a final broadcast the captain had been unaware of) and it is the captain who is technically going against the plan.
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
47	* ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'': HAL 9000 [[spoiler: disobeys Bowman and kills off the crew]], though Bowman did not have enough information to ''realize'' that he was "endangering the mission," as HAL put it.
48	* Essentially the entire plot of ''Film/CrimsonTide'' is whether the XO is attempting this or TheMutiny.
49	* ''Film/DownPeriscope'''s [=1LT=] Pascal attempts to foment a mutiny against Captain Dodge when Dodge makes the decision to ignore Admiral Graham's (patently unfair) changes to the engagement area mid-wargame. Since Pascal is an uptight JerkAss and TheNeidermeyer extraordinaire, his effort at rallying the crew to his side is met with a resounding silence, and no one complains too much when Dodge subsequently forces him to WalkThePlank [[spoiler:onto a waiting fishing boat whose crew is in on the joke]].
50	* {{Defied}} in ''Film/TheHuntForRedOctober''. To prevent ''[[ThePoliticalOfficer Zampolit]]'' Putin from leading one of these when he works out that Captain Ramius plans to defect with his prototype ballistic missile submarine to the United States, Ramius kills him and blames it on a fall that broke his neck. [[spoiler:A GRU operative aboard figures it out later, but rather than try to rally the crew, he attempts to sabotage the sub.]]
51	* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
52	** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' after [[spoiler: HYDRA has successfully infiltrated SHIELD, Cap informs the loyal agents who carry out this trope and attempt to stop the HYDRA plot from succeeding.]]
53	** In ''Film/{{Eternals}}'', [[spoiler:[[TheLeader Ajak]] decides to go against [[GreaterScopeVillain Arishem]]'s orders and prevent the emergence of Tiamut (which would destroy the Earth and kill everything on it), justifying herself with the belief that HumansAreSpecial. Unfortunately, the first Eternal she tells is [[KnightTemplar Ikaris]], who throws her to the Deviants and tries to use their escape to distract the other Eternals from Earth's impending doom.]]
54	* [[NumberTwo No. 2]] in ''Film/MeetDave'' may be the very definition of this trope. When TheCaptain does not want to go forward with his given mission of draining Earth's oceans, No. 2 does just this.
55	* ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' ends with [[TheIgor Riff-Raff]] bursting in on the GrandFinale musical number and proclaiming that "it's all over" because [[BigBad Dr. Frank N' Furter's]] [[TheHedonist lifestyle is too extreme.]] After all, you don't have time to stage an AlienInvasion when you're busy building a studly Frankenstein's monster and sexing it up with the locals. This example overlaps with EnemyCivilWar, in that both sides were evil.
56	* Clu in ''Film/TronLegacy'' was created with the purpose of creating the perfect system. He ended up staging an Anti-Mutiny when Flynn turned away from that goal to foster the development of the [=ISOs=], a random (and thus imperfect) side effect of Flynn's recreated Grid system.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Literature]]
60	* The events of ''Literature/TheCaineMutiny'' result in a trial to determine if the eponymous mutiny (Captain Queeg was relieved by his executive officer during a typhoon) was this [[TheMutiny or the more conventional sort of mutiny]].
61	* ''Literature/FamiliasRegnant'': In ''Winning Colors'', treasonous senior officers try to use their ship; [[RebelliousRebel their juniors realize the treachery and mutiny]]. ([[YouAreInCommandNow Leading to a very junior officer being in command]].) The narrative makes it crystal clear the anti-mutineers are in the right, but in-universe their HeroInsurance doesn't seem to be paid up; they face a lot of hot water for their insurrection before finally being exonerated and treated as heroes.
62	* ''Literature/HorusHeresy'':
63	** The events of Istvaan III as a whole were an attempt to prevent this: by placing the known Loyalist elements of every Traitor Legion in one place, it was hoped that they could be taken out quickly and relatively quietly. However, the AntiMutiny forces caught wind earlier than expected and dragged the fight out long enough to prevent the traitors from killing both them and the unrelated Loyalists at Istvaan V before word spread of the betrayal.
64	** ''The Flight of the Eisenstein'': Nathaniel Garro convinces ''Eisenstein''[='s=] master Baryk Carya to commit barratry (it's not mutiny when the captain does it, as Carya points out) instead of following the order to fire on Isstvan III. ''Eisenstein''[='s=] communications officer Tirin Maas informs ''Terminus Est'' of his captain's betrayal. When confronted, Maas clings to his oath of loyalty to the Warmaster.
65	* {{Defied}} in ''Literature/TheHuntForRedOctober''. To prevent ''[[ThePoliticalOfficer Zampolit]]'' Putin from leading one of these when he works out that Captain Ramius plans to defect with his prototype ballistic missile submarine to the United States, Ramius kills him and blames it on a fall that broke his neck. [[spoiler:A GRU operative aboard figures it out later, but rather than try to rally the crew, he attempts to sabotage the sub.]]
66	* ''Literature/JohnnyMaxwellTrilogy'': The Gunnery Officer attempts an Anti-Mutiny in ''Only You Can Save Mankind'', when the Captain starts making peace with the humans.
67	* A heroic example in ''Literature/KrisLongknife: Mutineer''. At a meeting of fleets during the dissolution of the Society of Humanity, Kris's squadron is ordered to sneak-attack a group of Earth battleships in hopes of getting in the first blow of TheWarOfEarthlyAggression, but Kris knows that would require orders from high command, which they haven't received because communications are being jammed, and realizes their admiral is acting illegally. On the spot, she and the junior crew, enlisted, and Marines overthrow her captain and get the other ships to follow suit, then chase down and capture the flagship. As a consequence the breakup happens otherwise peacefully, and Earth awards Kris its highest medal for valor.
68	* In ''Literature/TheLostFleet'' Captain Bai attempts to attack two other Alliance ships while following (probably) illegal orders. The first time her crew simply refuses her order to fire but the second time they mutiny and relieve her of command with her XO formally acknowledging that the ship will follow Geary's orders.
69	* Creator/DavidWeber's ''Literature/{{Safehold}}'' had a failed attempt at this made by Pei Shan-wei, to thwart the plans of Eric Langhorne and Adorée Bédard to turn the last haven of humanity into their [[GodGuise personal]] [[PathOfInspiration church]]. She was killed and made into their Satan, but Shan-wei [[CrazyPrepared had backup plans in place]].
70	* ''Literature/SpySchool'': In the climax of ''Spy School Goes North'', Russian spy Ivan falters in his plan to launch a missile at the Alaskan oil reserves due to it learning it will kill his granddaughter. His {{Mook}}s all ignore him and try to go through with the plan due to having spent years being separated from their families and hiding out in Siberia.
71	* ''Literature/ThePillarsOfReality'': [[spoiler: The Librarians are descendants of the starship crew members who refused to support their superiors' abuse of their authority to found the Mechanics Guild and rule over the passengers they were supposed to protect.]]
72	* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' features a few instances:
73	** [[spoiler: Bowen Marsh and several other members of the Night's Watch stabbing Jon Snow for allying with wildlings and for forswearing his vows to go save his sister (actually Jeyne Poole) and kill Ramsay Bolton]]. Notably, whether or not [[spoiler: Jon Snow really]] meets the criteria of "forsaking the original mission" is debatable. He did not truly break his vows (but distanced himself a lot from their usual interpretation), and his reforms all had sound reasoning, until he decided to [[spoiler:go in a campaign against Ramsay]], effectively breaking his vows.
74	** [[spoiler: Barristan Selmy, the Unsullied and some of the Meereenese]] launching a coup against [[spoiler: Daenerys's husband]] for doing a bad job of ruling in her stead, and possibly [[spoiler:trying to assassinate her.]] In this case, even though he is the legal regent, he has deviated quite a lot from [[spoiler: what Daenerys wanted]], and the conspirators are trying to get things back on track.
75	** Varys and Doran Martell each plot (apparently unrelated) schemes to put a Targaryen back on the Iron Throne. While the Baratheon (or, for the King's Landing faction, "Baratheon") dynasty would consider that treason and rebellion, by the strict laws of succession, first Viserys and then Daenerys are indeed the rightful heirs.
76	* In the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novel ''Before Dishonor'', the "new" command crew goes Anti-Mutiny when Picard ignores Starfleet's orders to return to Earth. Of course, this being Captain frickin' Picard, the "old" command crew (including Spock and Seven of Nine) is proven right in the end. [[spoiler:But they have one less planetary conundrum to worry about.]]
77	* Played with during ''Literature/TheSuccessionDuology'' when Captain Laurent Zai refuses to commit suicide as expected of him due to a failure to rescue the Emperor's sister. A mutiny plot arises on the ship in order to correct that failure as this course of action endangers the crew.
78	* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' has the siege of Maradon. The city commander has locked his allies outside the walls, where they are being slaughtered. A soldier named Yoeli leads an Anti-Mutiny to take control of the city and let the allies in. Though hailed as a hero, Yoeli says he only [[IDidWhatIHadToDo did what he had to do]], insisting that he is still technically a traitor and will demand his own execution.

81	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
82	* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
83	** When Sheridan begins to take the fight to the Earth Alliance, at the battle of Proxima, one of the Alliance destroyer captains decides to defect. His second in command decides to undefect (pulling a gun on his captain), and then the crew decides to redefect anyway (subduing the XO offscreen).
84	** The Minbari religious caste crew during the civil war attempted to sabotage their ship to prevent Delenn from carrying out [[spoiler: her rumored surrender to the warrior caste]].
85	* It could be argued Starbuck falls prey to this in Season 4 of ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica\|2003}}''. She began acting increasingly crazy but was still staying within the bounds of her orders, but then unilaterally decided to do something not covered by those orders, an action which meant she and the crew would miss their scheduled rendezvous and/or put all their lives in mortal danger. The crew (bar one) refused to back her. It's difficult to tell who was meant to be in the wrong in this case, though the fact that just after the mutiny and [[spoiler: one poor bastard losing a leg]] she came up with an alternate solution whereby only she was put at risk suggests Starbuck may be more at fault.
86	** Of course, that [[spoiler:one poor bastard losing a leg]] later leads to another [[TheMutiny mutiny]].
87	* On ''Series/BlackSails'' things are further complicated by the fact that a pirate captain is elected by the crew and is supposed to act in the best interests of the crew at all times. Thus when members of the crew plot to remove Captain Flint from command they feel their actions are perfectly legitimate since Flint is jeopardizing the lives of the crew to further his own personal goals.
88	* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' Grayza continually goes against the orders of her high command in chasing after Crichton and Scorpius. Eventually her NumberTwo, Braca, declares her to be unfit for duty and has her arrested.
89	* In the pilot of ''Series/LastResort'' the captain of a US nuclear submarine refuses an order to fire four nuclear missiles at Pakistan. After the captain is relieved from command, his XO is issued the same order and also refuses. The Chief-of-the-Boat wants to follow the orders and stages an anti-mutiny, but fails. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the orders are delivered by the Secretary of Defense (''sixth'' in the line of succession) on a secondary communication network that is normally reserved for scenarios where the US has already been nuked, which they know hasn't happened because they're still receiving American news media. The captain and XO are justified in suspecting that a mutiny has taken place higher in the chain of command and are refusing the order to fire as their own anti-mutiny.
90	* ''Series/TheLastShip'': In "Scuttle", the ''Nathan James'' takes on survivors from another US Navy ship sunk during a mission against the Chinese Navy. Unnerved by Captain Chandler's [[ItsPersonal obsession]] with taking down Chinese [[PresidentEvil President Peng]] and blaming it for the destruction of their ship, the add-ons jump on the opportunity when orders come through from their superiors to relieve Chandler of command. Chandler's crew, suspicious of these orders (with good reason, as they're actually from a GovernmentConspiracy seeking to usurp the federal government's authority), quickly take steps to bloodlessly retake control of the ship.
91	* ''Series/MadamSecretary'': A Russian ballistic missile submarine goes off-mission and torpedoes a US Navy minesweeper that intercepts it,[[note]]the StockFootage depicts an ''Arleigh Burke''-class destroyer[[/note]] but then stops acting. The Navy manages to make contact and learns that the captain had gone AxCrazy and was attempting to launch missiles at the US, but the crew mutinied and are implied to have killed him.
92	* In the pilot of ''Series/SeaQuestDSV'', Commander Ford relieves Captain Stark of duty as she's about to launch a nuclear strike after receiving orders to stand down.
93	* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
94	** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'':
95	*** "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror Mirror, Mirror]]": [[MirrorUniverse Mirror Kirk]] is in the middle of demanding the surrender of a planet when he's replaced by Prime Kirk due to a TeleporterAccident. Prime Kirk promptly goes off-mission by giving the planet's populace a chance to reconsider rather than [[EarthShatteringKaboom immediately blowing them away]] for refusing the Terran Empire. Consequently, Mirror Spock receives orders to kill him and finish the mission as the new captain of the ISS ''Enterprise''. Luckily for Kirk, M-Spock would rather not be such an obvious target and warns him.
96	*** "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E24TurnaboutIntruder Turnabout Intruder]]": Spock begins an Anti-Mutiny against Kirk who has undergone a BodySwap with an old girlfriend. By the end of the episode, all the main characters side with Spock.
97	** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
98	*** In [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E6LonelyAmongUs "Lonely Among Us"]], Picard is possessed by an EnergyBeing. The senior officers discuss attempting an anti-mutiny when he abandons the mission at hand, but decide that they do not have enough evidence to legally relieve him of command. When Picard's possession becomes apparent and Dr. Crusher attempts to deem him medically unfit, the EnergyBeing immobilizes the bridge crew long enough to carry out his plan.
99	*** In [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E8TheBattle "The Battle"]], the Ferengi [=DaiMon=] Bok engages in a mission of personal vendetta against Picard for [[spoiler:killing his son in battle years before]]. [[NumberTwo Riker]] tries to get Kazago, Bok's second-in-command, to stop Bok. Eventually, Kazago arrests Bok [[BlueAndOrangeMorality for engaging in a non-profitable venture, a heinous crime by Ferengi standards]]. That's the reason Kazago ''gives'', at least; he already knew that there was no money to be made, and only acted after Riker presented evidence that Bok was insane.
100	*** In [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E14Conundrum "Conundrum"]], the crew get amnesia. They find out from the computer that they're at war with another race and are being sent to attack their homeworld. After easily penetrating the "enemy"'s defenses Picard decides that there's something wrong, since a war against this species would've been over in about 5 minutes instead of the years the computer tells them. Picard's second in command, [[RememberTheNewGuy who isn't Riker but some guy named MacDuff whom we've never seen before]], tries to force the rest of the crew into obeying their original orders. It turns out of course that a third race, which is at war with the second, had orchestrated the events and [=MacDuff=] is one of them.
101	*** In [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E11ThePegasus "The Pegasus"]] we learn that, while an ensign, Riker attempted to help his then-Captain put down an Anti-Mutiny on the eponymous vessel ([[spoiler:the captain was experimenting with a cloaking device, a technology banned by a treaty between the Federation and the Romulan Empire]]), but when they failed, they were forced to abandon ship together.
102	** ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' has a rare example of the anti-mutineers being right. When a BrainwashedAndCrazy Archer decides protecting a Xindi hatchery is more important than their mission, the other main characters organise an Anti-Mutiny, while the MACO squad obey the captain's orders unquestioningly.
103	* ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' has a two-part OriginsEpisode for Jesse, in which we discover that she was the first mate on a future-human submarine captained by a reprogrammed Terminator, and that she led an Anti Mutiny against him because she and the rest of the crew wrongly (because he inflexibly refused to tell them the truth about their secret mission) believed that he'd reverted and was betraying them to Skynet.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Video Games]]
107	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', Sten will attempt to challenge you for control of the party at a certain point of the game if he's at low approval, thinking that your gallivanting around the outskirts of Ferelden is akin to taking a vacation by deserting. If he's at high approval, he'll merely state his opinions and put it at that. Intriguingly, his approval rises when you crush his mini-coup, since that [[MightMakesRight proved him wrong and you're clearly capable enough to be in charge]].
108	* ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}'':
109	** In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', the relationship between the Outcasts and the Brotherhood of Steel is this. The Brotherhood's mission is to preserve and catalog technology, but the batch that went east decided instead to focus on protecting civilians and killing mutants. The Outcasts broke off to concentrate on the original mission. Neither group is villainous, but the Outcasts tend towards [[JerkAss douchebaggery]] and the game's creation kit tags their CharacterAlignment as Evil (further evidenced by the fact that you'll be rewarded for killing them if you have the Lawbringer perk).
110	** ''Videogame/FalloutNewVegas'':
111	*** The Courier can convince Benny's second-in-command Swank to help you deal with his boss by convincing him that he's planning to go against Mr House. Since Swank both fears House and likes his current lifestyle, he'll not only give you full access to your weapons but make sure Benny's guards are away. If you do end up killing Benny, Swank ends up as leader of the Chairmen, to which he responds with "[[JiveTurkey Ring-a-ding!]]"
112	*** During the Brotherhood of Steel questline, it is possible to help Paladin Hardin to replace and depose Elder [=McNamara=] by finding evidence that he is unfit for command. Upon doing so, Hardin takes over as Elder while [=McNamara=] is demoted to a Knight. This will also affect the ending for the Brotherhood, [[spoiler:as Hardin is a much more militant leader than [=McNamara=], which will lead to problems down the line]].
113	* In ''VideoGame/KaiserreichLegacyOfTheWeltkrieg'', if UsefulNotes/DouglasMacArthur seizes power in the run-up to the Second American Civil War, the Pacific States of America revolt against him, seeking to uphold American Constitutional values in the face of radical syndicalists, dictatorial nationalists, and a military junta all subverting those values while claiming themselves the rightful American government.
114	* ''VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter'': Captain Grumpf of the Kurvaz Guild has to be restrained by his crew after [[BadBoss ordering them to open fire on a transport]] they're supposed to be ''escorting''. A transport that is carrying a number of important documents, and a MacGuffin that Grumpf's boss has no doubt gone to a ''lot'' of trouble to acquire.
115	* In ''VideoGame/SuikodenIV'', Snowe is reluctant to stick around after the Pirate Brandeau opens fire on their ship and he's caught in the blast, killing most of the men around him and temporarily paralyzing his arm. The rest of the crew is shocked when he orders a retreat, since that would mean leaving the ship they're escorting to the pirates. Add in how the soldiers ''already'' resented him for being put in charge [[RookieRedRanger despite just graduating]], and the stage was set for one of these.
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Webcomics]]
119
120	* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': Thurl and a few other conspirators, all old veterans of the company, quickly and efficiently take over the ship while the captain is out, starting with a swift shutdown of the ship AI. They did this because they realized that [[spoiler:Para Ventura, the roboticist who created the AI, is a mole working for someone else]]. They're right. The problem is that [[spoiler:Para is a mole protecting the company from all the ''other'' conspiracies out there, in particular the one that is trying to start a ZombieApocalypse on the base they're defending]]. With the AI offline, things go FromBadToWorse. And then they get the AI back online, [[spoiler:[[GoMadFromTheIsolation after she has been driven mad from subjective millennia trapped alone]]]], and everything gets ''so much worse''.
121
122	[[/folder]]
123
124	[[folder:Web Video]]
125	* ''WebVideo/FearTheWalkingDeadDeadInTheWater'': At the climax of the miniseries, the crew of the ''U.S.S. Pennsylvania'' receive orders to nuke Chicago to try and contain the spread of the ZombieApocalypse. While the captain is willing to follow those orders, the rest of the crew refuse. And since the captain was previously bit and is dying, he can't force the issue; he stands down so that he can be [[MercyKill put out of his misery]].

128	[[folder:Western Animation]]
129	* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' has his car fitted with an "anti-mutiny module" when all of London's mechanical devices stage a rebellion against mankind (episode "Mechanised Mayhem").
130	* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Double Dipper", Dipper uses a magic photocopier to duplicate himself several times over as part of a [[ComplexityAddiction needlessly-complicated scheme]] to ask Wendy to dance with him. When Dipper has an epiphany and tries to abandon the plan, his clones rebel and lock him in the closet so he doesn't "interfere" with his own scheme.
131	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': After the 501st's temporary commander Pong Krell misleads them to attack their sister company the 212th in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E10CarnageOfKrell "Carnage of Krell"]], Captain Rex leads both groups to arrest the General after telling his men what they are planning on doing could be considered treason.
132	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E04TheLastBattle "The Last Battle"]], [[spoiler:it's revealed super tactical droid [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars General Kalani]] received the shutdown command sent from Mustafar to [[KeystoneArmy shut down the droid army]] after Order 66. However, he refused to implement it on himself and the droids under his command because [[ProperlyParanoid he deemed it a Republic trick after calculating the odds of the Separatists winning the war at that point and finding it illogical that they would order a shutdown when, according to his calculations, they stood a good chance of winning]].]]
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:Real Life]]
136	* During the 1961 putsch in French Algeria by military officers wanting Algeria to remain French, most conscripted soldiers, after hearing Charles de Gaulle ordering them to absolutely disobey to mutineed officers, mutinied against the putschists. In at least one case, a unit arrested their officer!
