Stargate (1994) largely puts story and adventure ahead of modern identity themes. Characters are defined by personality and skill, not by forced diversity casting or identity quotas. The focus remains on exploration, mystery, and the culture clash between Earth and the alien world. There’s little sense that the narrative was shaped by contemporary ideological requirements.

The film depicts military, religion, and traditional roles without mocking or subverting them for ideological purposes. Masculinity is represented through characters like Colonel O'Neil without being trivialized. There’s no attempt at cultural revisionism, if anything, the portrayal of ancient Egypt is pulpy and fantastical rather than overtly modernized.

Stargate offers straightforward good-versus-evil storytelling, free from lecturing and without overtly villainizing traditional values or viewpoints. There’s no insistence on a uniform ideological perspective among characters; internal debates stem from plot logic, not modern politics.
