Line 17:
** ''[[Red River]]''
* ''[[The Dark Crystal]]'', which borrowed heavily from ''[[Lord of the Rings]]''.
* The 2008 Vin Diesel cyberpunk movie ''[[Babylon ADA.D.]]'' (in ''Babylon Babies'', the book on which it's based, they just jump on the plane to Montreal, so the journey is less important).
* ''[[The Transporter]]'' has the title character doing this as a job.
* The Enigma Device in U-571. The writer/director even [[Word of God|calls it]] "The [[MacGuffin]]" in the DVD commentary.
Line 39:
* ''[[Eve Online]]'' Device. This is a thing. It does stuff. Which leads to "All hail the Device! For it is a thing! And it does stuff! \o/" It is used in a multi-part mission to activate gate.
* Done occasionally in the ''Zelda'' series:
** In ''[[Zelda II: theThe Adventure of Link (Video Game)|Zelda II the Adventure of Link]]'', instead of [[Gotta Catch Them All|collecting things like in the first game,]] Link has to take six mystic crystals to six monster-infested palaces and insert them into statuary.
** Most of the Force Gem sidequests in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks]]'' involve transporting an item from one part of the kingdom to another, while avoiding thieves, vandals, monster attacks, and other problems along the way.
* Protecting the hyperdrive generator from Darth Maul in the game of ''[[Star Wars]]: [[The Phantom Menace]]''.
* In ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' the titular hero has all seven Chaos Emeralds from the start, but he has to take each one to an ancient temple on each continent in order to repower them and restore the fractured planet.
* For the first half of ''[[Golden Sun (Video Game)|Golden Sun]]: The Lost Age'', you're taking the [[Cosmic Keystone|Jupiter Star]] to the Jupiter Lighthouse in order to light it.
