* A presidential address is predicted by Dr. Kurtzweil in ''[[The X-Files]]'' movie as part of him [[Story-Boarding the Apocalypse]].
* ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]] and the [[Deathly Hallows]]: - Part 1]]'' opens with Scrimgeour, the Minister for Magic, making this kind of speech to a group of reporters. He says that the Ministry remains strong and will get rid of Voldemort, which is particularly ironic in light of the coup d'etat which occurs later in the same film.
* ''[[First Family]]'', with Bob Newhart as the President, had a scene where some of his advisers reviewed pre-recorded addresses to be used in the event of [[World War III|nuclear attack]], varying depending on the amount of warning time.

* The movie ''[[Blindness]]'' features a scene where, after a highly contagious outbreak of sudden blindness seems to reach apocalyptic levels, there is a public address from the governor of the movie's location confessing that she too has become blind.
