== [[Film]] ==
* In the movie ''[[Goldeneye (Film)|Goldeneye]]'', [[James Bond]] flies over a lake in Cuba looking for Janus's secret base. He's just about to give up when a missile shoots him down. After [[The Dragon]] sent to finish him off gets killed, Janus thoughtfully drains the lake, revealing the base.
* Not exactly an enemy base, but in the Tenacious D movie, JB randomly journeys around a forest after consuming wild mushrooms with psychedelic effects, but when he comes to (after a big fall), he is conveniently close to his target (the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame).
* Teal'c ending up within walking distance of the Ori base in ''[[Stargate The Ark Of Truth|Stargate: The Ark of Truth]]''.

** The TARDIS seems curiously attracted to whatever interplanetary incident happens to be most dramatic, ''especially'' when the Doctor's looking for a break.
** In the serial ''Genesis of the Daleks'' the Kaleds and the Thals have been fighting an internecine war for control of the planet Skaro for thousands of years and yet their two massive domed cities are seemingly about a half-mile apart. Well, who wants to ''walk'' a long way to a battle?
