In film, the game of Chicken often arises, either literally or metaphorically, as a conflict between an established member of a community, such as a high school gang or a family dynasty, and an “Other”—a newcomer to the scene. The game may result in a shift in social power or in a reaffirmation of a societal status quo, and it usually plays an important role in the Other’s growth as a person. A familiarity with game theory permits a nuanced interpretation of certain films; this chapter presents the mathematics behind Chicken and discusses a quartet of films—Rebel Without a Cause (Dir. Nicholas Ray. Warner Brothers. Film. DVD, 1955), Footloose (Dir. Herbert Ross. Paramount Pictures. Film. DVD, 1984) and (Dir. Craig Brewer. Paramount Pictures. Film. DVD, 2011), and Crazy Rich Asians (Dir. Jon M. Chu, Writ. Peter Chiarelli, Adele Lim, Warner Bros Pictures. HBO on Demand. Accessed 29 July 2019, 2018)—from a game theoretic perspective.
