Meaning "God out of a machine", Deus ex machinae originated in Greek and Roman drama as an improbable resolution to a plot in the theater. A present day example of Deus ex machinae would be in the latest Batman movie, 'Dark Knight Rises'.
When the nuclear bomb is about to explode and all hope seems to be lost, Batman miraculously comes up with the brilliant idea to chain the bomb to his ship as the ticker gets closer and closer to detonation. Not only does he somehow have enough time to fly it far into the ocean away from the town, but he also ends up surviving the seemingly impossible task.
