When Hollywood talks about EMP, it can generally be filed under [[You Fail Physics Forever]].

* ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'' features one moderately realistic EMP generated by a low-altitude nuke exploding over Japan.

* In ''[[Gundam Seed]]'', ZAFT has the Gungnir System, which it deploys when they attack Panama - and then proceed to slaughter Alliance soldiers trapped in disabled mecha. Even the revenge-minded Yzak gives pause at this, hinting at his later [[Heel Face Turn]].

* ''[[Iron Man]]'' has one built into his armor. It disables his own gear as well, which then takes about six minutes to fix itself. The exact same thing is in the ''[[War Machine (Comic Book)|War Machine]]'' armor.

* In ''[[Aeon Natum Engel]]'', among the standard depictions of EMP, it's also one of the main reason for the Iceland's [[Decade Dissonance]].
