Star Wars: A New Hope, where Obi-wan distracts Vader and the stormtroopers so Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, R2-D2 and C-3PO can escape. Obi-wan is dueling Vader and the duel takes them into a corridor off the hanger where the Millenium Falcon is held. As the stormtroopers watch, the rest head to the Falcon, except for Luke, who is distracted by the duel. When Obi-wan sees Luke, he smiles and allows Vader to cut him down, but his body vanishes just before Vader strikes him. The passengers flee after a shootout.

In The Breakfast Club, Judd Nelson's character runs yelling down the hall to draw the teacher away from the other students, so they can get back to the library unnoticed. If a teacher isn't the 'enemy' of a student, I don't know who is.
