* ''[[Doctor Strangelove]]'' was based on a serious [[Cold War]] thriller novel by Peter George entitled... ''Red Alert''.
* In the film ''[[Our Man Flint]]'', after Lloyd Cramden learns that Flint is alive he calls a "Purple Alert".
* ''[[Diamonds Are Forever (Film)|Diamonds Are Forever]]''. Occurs at an American missile base in North Dakota just before Blofeld's [[Kill Sat]] attacks with its [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser beam]].

* [[Half Life|The Black Mesa Facility]] would like to inform you that pressing the alert button as a joke is not OK, ''Dr. Freeman''. (Not real dialog, just a joke since you can turn it on and piss people off, and later on it is on by default and you can turn it off [[For the Evulz]]).
* In ''[[Star Trek Armada]] II'', alerts contain a different approach, Green alert is were a ship will not attack unless given a strict order to do so (This includes not firing back), Yellow alert will have ships fire at enemy ship's and stations if fired upon, Red alert (Default) has ships attack enemy ships and stations if there in range
