But they're presented in the context of the movie as if they're real, as if real people survive such things.

Another example is fires in movies. They never spread at even a fraction of the rate real fires spread. Most of the time you'd have 90 seconds to get out once the fire takes hold, but in movies people basically explore burning buildings safely. Yes, I understand that in the filming the fire is well controlled, but that's fiction. Not what it's really like.
