Hellboy (2004)
The intended escapees inHellboyare the least successful in our roundup.
They never even got a peek into our world.
The One (2001)
Yulaw is the most well travelled of the alternate universe residents.
Not a very straightforward journey, but on the trail to a happy ending, perhaps.
The Matrix (1999)
Neo is unquestionably the most successful of the escapees.
Hard to top that, especially for a guy who started out as a gooey battery.
