ELI5: Why don't the men in the ISIS videos, who know they are about to be executed, fight back?

In many of the videos they outnumber their armed executors so why do they accept their fate?

Comments from some of the earlier videos talked about this. Apparently it's not uncommon for them to film the video over and over, sometimes dozens of times, day after day, as a form of torture. Essentially some of the people don't know they're about to be executed, it's just another day filming the same message.
