Traditional
Primary
While the film critiques a corrupt government agency, its resolution champions individual agency, self-reliance, and personal justice over systemic reform, aligning its dominant themes with right-leaning values.
The movie features primarily traditional casting with a predominantly white cast and no apparent intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative frames traditional identities neutrally or positively, without any explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film includes a flamboyant, effeminate villain whose implied sexuality is tied to his sinister nature. Another scene depicts a gay man propositioning the protagonist, played for discomfort and reinforcing negative stereotypes. The overall portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters and themes is problematic, lacking dignity or positive representation.
The film features female characters, but none are depicted engaging in and winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. Their roles in action sequences do not involve such direct physical victories.
The film "The Eiger Sanction" is an adaptation of the 1972 novel by Trevanian. A review of the main characters reveals no instances where a character's gender was changed from the source material to the film adaptation.
The film is an adaptation of a 1972 novel. A review of major characters, including Jonathan Hemlock, Ben Bowman, and Jemima Brown, reveals their on-screen portrayals are consistent with their established races in the source material.
