History LaResistance / LiveActionTV

* In ''Series/{{The 100}}'', there's a contingent of people inside Mount Weather who oppose the use of Outsiders as HumanResources and help the captured Ark kids fight back against the Mountain's security personnel.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "Room 2426", Dr. Martin Decker's cellmate Joseph claims that he is a member of the resistance who got himself arrested so that he could help Martin escape using [[{{Teleportation}} teletransportation]]. [[spoiler:It turns out that Joseph is a [[TheMole mole]] placed in Martin's cell by his torturer Dr. Ostroff.]]

* In ''Series/{{V 1983}}: The Miniseries'', alien fascists invade and humanity fights back...those who don't collaborate or do nothing, anyway.

** In "The Deprogrammers", there is a resistance movement called the Vindicators which is attempting to liberate Earth from its alien occupiers, the Torkor.
** In "Starcrossed", Cass Trenton and her husband Winston Meyerburg are members of the UsefulNotes/{{NATO}} resistance movement against the Hing. When they arrive in Archangel in 2056, Cass is carrying a parasite that can kill the Hing. It represents the best hope of winning the war for humanity. Michael Ryan and Alexandra Nevsky later decide to meet up with a NATO battalion.
** In "Stasis", there is a resistance against the Stasis Initiative, which forces half of the worker population into stasis for 72 hours at a time. Stasis jumping, the act of leaving your pod before the end of the shift, is on the rise. The resistance's slogan is "Half a life is no life."
** In "Zig Zag", the Syndrome is a resistance movement / cyberterrorist group fighting against the regime of personal information technology. Under this regime, people have chips in their right hands through which they essentially live their entire lives as possessing a chip is the only way of accessing computers, proving your identity, gaining employment or paying for goods and services. The Syndrome believes that personal information technology is oppressive and destructive to society.

* ''Series/TwentyFour'': Somewhat obvious in Season 7. The rogue CTU consisting of Chloe, Tony, and Bill have all had their looks changed to fits this trope and make them look tougher. Chloe has had her hair dyed dark, but the most noticeable change is former Bureaucrat Bill Buchanan wearing black head to toe with a two day stubble. He's one beret short of a parody. Tony's transformation is more convincing.

* ''Series/NineteenFortyOne2009'': Soviet partisans fight the Nazis occupying their village. There are many characters, many of whom die, and the partisans are even joined by a Nazi officer they mistakenly kidnapped.

* ''Series/NineteenFortyOne'': Soviet partisans fight the Nazis occupying their village. There are many characters, many of whom die, and the partisans are even joined by a Nazi officer they mistakenly kidnapped.

* ''Series/NineteenFortyOne'': Soviet partisans fight the Nazis occupying their village. There are LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, many of whom die, and the partisans are even joined by a Nazi officer they mistakenly kidnapped.

* ''Series/StargateSG1'': Several thousand years ago, a group of Go'auld decided to put down the VillainBall and reject the LargeHam, BodySnatching ways of their race and its leader Ra and actually, *gasp* co-exist peacefully with voluntary hosts. They formed a resistance known as the Tok'Ra, literally meaning, "Against Ra". They join up with two other resistance movments, a network of Jaffa slaves secretly working to overthrow the Go'auld, and Stargate Command, which can be considered the primary Tau'ri resistance. These then form an Alliance, which defeats the Go'auld once and for all (with help from allies like the Asgard; of course, it's the Replicators who actually end up crippling the Goa'uld, leaving the galaxy relatively safe when the alliance uses the Dakara superweapon to deal with ''them'').

** Parodied when Harper makes contact with a resistance group on Earth, fighting the oppressive tyrants, led by his cousin. He almost leaves in disgust when he finds out it's just small band of misfits instead of a planetwide network.

** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS15E6TheInvasionOfTime "The Invasion of Time"]], Andred tries to organize one — and assassinate the Doctor as part of it.

* This is the entire premise of ''Series/FallingSkies''. And it's not only the humans — some of the Skitters are resisting as well.

** ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' also shows us the Resistance in the MirrorUniverse, led by a Klingon named Voq, also known as Firewolf. Unlike his Prime universe counterpart, this Voq has managed to unite people of various races (including Vulcans and Andorians) against a common enemy - the [[TheEmpire Terran Empire]]. He also speaks English, something Prime!Voq would never do, [[spoiler:except when disguised as Ash Tyler]]. However, given what we know from TOS, the Resistance is destined to fail, and it won't be until Mirror!Spock's reforms and TheAlliance between the Klingons and the Cardassians that the Terran Empire falls. At that point, the tables turn, and it's the oppressed Terrans who form the Resistance.
