The [[Giant Wall of Watery Doom]] is a pretty scary threat. Consider that a dam needs to contain outright gigantic amount of water, a bit of [[Monumental Battle]], or worse, threat of [[Monumental Damage]] can be VERY''very'' scary. In the United States, the prototypical dam for this to happen at is Hoover Dam, thanks to [[The Eiffel Tower Effect]] and the big potential for [[Scenery Porn]].
 
That's how you get a [[Disaster Movie]] with a '''Big Dam Plot''', where a dam is threatened with destruction or actually destroyed in whole or part. Though a Monumental Damage threat can be very effective indeed, sometimes the attackers do manage to destroy it, or it just happens kind of randomly. In any case, you don't want to stay around.
 
The outdoor equivalent of the [[Exploding Fishtanks]].
