High Noon - Frank Miller
The Constant Gardener - Rachel Weisz's character.

Similarly...

His Girl Friday - A convicted murder Earl.
The Bicycle Thief - The boy who "stole" the bicycle.

*edit* I took out Ace in the Hole.

You could say the first Terminator film had John Connor as a "plot centric" character that didn't appear in the film.

Depending on how much screen time you are referring to, Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction could fit the bill.
