If you try to count the number of movies that have an engineer as a major character, you probably won't get off the fingers of one hand. I know of Arlington Road (the engineer, played by Tim Robbins, is a terrorist), Falling Down (the engineer, Michael Douglas, goes berserk), and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (the cover profession of the assassin, Brad Pitt, is an engineer), just to name a few. The problem with these is that the silver screen engineer hardly fits the bill as someone you'd want to invite home for dinner.
