ten points for best answer:D

Answer 1

Your movie is, 300.  Besides being an awesome movie, the King of the Spartans goes to battle and dies for his family, his people, his country!  The greatest glory a Spartan can achieve is death on the battlefield in defense of his country.  

Despite orders not to, King Leonidas marches into a battle that is impossible to win.  

He is defending his wife and son by the way!

I thought of another good one too,

3:10 to Yuma.  Another current movie where the main character embarks on a dangerous task to earn much needed money to save his family.  He eventually accepts death, knowing that the only way he can truly save his family is if he dies.  In his actions, he not only saves his two kids and wife, but also earns the respect of one of his sons, who previously had no respect for his father.  

Two good choices for you.

Answer 2

Answer 3

John Q (2002)

This movie depicts the plight of a father (Denzel Washington) willing to lay down his life for his son.

The Road to Perdition (2002)

Father Types, Sacrifice This is a violent, yet powerful movie which explores the father-son theme using three sets of relationships: that between elderly Irish mob boss, John Rooney and his cold-blooded right hand enforcer, Michael Sullivan ("You are like a son to me."); that between Michael Sullivan, Sr. and his 12 year old son, Michael, Jr.; and that between John Rooney and his biological amoral son, Connor. The story dramatizes how Michael, Sr. attempts to save his son from going down "the road to perdition," (the road to h**l) that he himself has been traveling as a calculating, cold-blooded killer. His love for his boy means he will go down that road to h**l in order to save his son.
