Of course, an author can always write some scenario showing the hero is some unparalleled genius who can come up with some really contrived plan to save both his love ones, everyone else and get some Hollywood ending with cool music and dancing at the end.

Well, an actual hero cannot be considered as a "normal person", so he isn't supposed to act like one. Indeed, he isn't a "person", but a personify of the idea he serve. It means he must be ready to sacrifice anything to protect that idea, be it himself or those who dear to him.
