TV cliches defined and cross-referenced
A team of characters build something that will pull everyone's bacon out of the fire. A montage is used to show each person exercising their speciality (usually without lines) in the pursuit of this goal.
The true "A Team Montage" will often include large quantities of Stock Footage. This can lead to humorous mistakes, such as an obvious set of black hands building the superweapon, even though Mr. T had been captured by bad guys.
Named after the 80's series The A Team, which had one such montage in every episode.
Special case of the Hard Work Montage, and similar to the Lock And Load Montage.
