* Subverted in ''[[The Andromeda Strain]]'', where the Wildfire team figures out, almost too late, that the tactical nuke meant to sterilize their lab in case of organism escape will actually cause Andromeda to mutate wildly and spread on the prevailing winds across the entire West Coast.

* In ''Silent Running'', Bruce Dern sends the last forest into deep space and {{spoiler|remains behind to nuke his own spaceship}}.

* In ''A Crack In The World'', [[Science Is Bad|Bad Science]] causes a giant crack to start propagating through Earth's crust, with dire effects. Scientists use a nuke to {{spoiler|blow a hole in the crust that's big enough to stop it}}.
