Movies really said "forget physics, we need drama!" The falling character experiences Earth's standard gravitational acceleration (g = 10 m/s²), but somehow the hero trying to catch them gets a special discount (g = 9.8 m/s²). That 0.2 m/s² difference is apparently enough for epic rescue scenes where people outrun gravity itself! Next time you're watching an action movie, just remember - the laws of physics take a coffee break whenever someone needs to be heroically caught mid-air. Newton is probably rolling in his grave fast enough to power a small city.
