Elevators. We all know and love them. Those wonderful devices that let you reach the thirty-second floor without climbing ungodly numbers of stairs. Those wonderful moving rooms with lots of shiny buttons... including the "Close Door" button. Is Bob running from The Mafia? No problem! He just has to duck into a nearby elevator and hit that button, and the doors will miraculously slide closed just as the goons come running up to them, protecting Bob from their wrath! Does not actually require the button being pushed to be the "Close Door" button, although it's common for a panicking character to push it repeatedly with a sense of urgency. Occasionally, particularly when the pursuer is a killer robot, a horde of zombies, or another inhuman creature, the doors will close on their arms, forcing the hero to either push away or chop off the intruding limb(s) before their pursuer(s) manage to pry the door open. Never mind that a properly working elevator should open automatically once it detects something in the way of the door. As Dogbert's Clues for the Clueless says (following advice about avoiding Uncomfortable Elevator Moments): "Don't try to crush people by pushing the 'Close' button. I've tried it and it doesn't work." A common subversion is for the "Close Door" button to not work. Whether it's deliberately disabled, never connected in the first place, worn out from over-use, or simply doesn't respond fast enough to be noticeable, the fact remains that pushing the "Close Door" button does absolutely nothing. In comedy settings, expect the chased to calmly wait for the lift to arrive at its destination before resuming the panicked running once the doors open. Bonus points if the scene cuts between the chaser rushing downstairs with dramatic music playing and the chased listening to the calming elevator music. A bit of Fridge Logic applies when you realize that elevator doors are not bulletproof, so a sufficiently armed member of The Mafia could probably shoot the escapee even if the doors did close. Until, of course, the elevator starts actually moving out of the way (see also Concealment Equals Cover). Also, if your enemies happen to have grenades handy (not very common with most mafias but quite common with well-funded terrorists and certain cartels), one of them thrown into an elevator as the doors close or dropped into it from above can ruin your whole day. Can lead to an Elevator Snare where the chaser tries to outrun the victim by using the stairs. |

In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah, John and the T-800 use an elevator to get a lead on the pursuing T-1000 during Sarah's rescue from the mental hospital. The T-1000 reaches the doors just as they close and pulls them open, but a well-placed shotgun blast stuns him and the doors close normally. The T-1000 then forces the doors open again, jumps onto the descending elevator and tries to stab them through the ceiling. | |

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. In "The Mad Mad Tea Party Affair," the mysterious stranger infiltrating UNCLE HQ avoids our heroes by ducking into an elevator, then when Solo and Kuryakin decide Stairs Are Faster, calmly stepping out again, thanks to a device he's carrying that lets him control all the electronics in the building, including the floor indicator. However, he turns out to be an UNCLE agent sent to test their security. Later when The Mole is exposed, he uses the same device to trap the escapee between floors. | |

Inverted in Entrapment. After committing their heist on the 86th floor, and setting off the alarms, Mac and Gin try to escape in the elevator, having previously freeze-framed the camera to hide their presence. The control room shuts the elevator down to try to trap them, but they escape from the elevator by forcing the doors open. | |

The Dresden Files: In Small Favor, Harry is running from three of the Billy Goats Gruff (a lot more dangerous than they sound), and ducks into an abandoned building to escape them. Knowing that they'll soon find a way in, even if they have to bash down a wall, he runs to the elevator and starts pushing the button for the top floor. Being that elevators run on electricity, and Harry is a Walking Techbane, it takes a few tries and lots of near-panic before it works. | |

Then Agatha gets out, and Dmitri tries to get out too, but the doors close on him. Dmitri wrenches them open, but this gives her a head start on the escape. | |

Jurassic World Dominion. When Owen Grady and Kayla Watts flee a Pyroraptor they're finally able to escape by ducking into an elevator. As it's an industrial elevator with safety cage they don't have to worry about the doors opening automatically, so they just zap the Pyroraptor with a taser once they're safely inside. And there's a variation on the trope when Claire Dearing makes it to a tower-type outpost and has to wait for the automated ladder to slowly lower to the ground, by which time several Dilophosaurs have closed in on her. | |

Happens twice in Aliens. When Ripley and Hicks are trying to escape, they make it to an elevator. Hicks repeatedly pushes the button, and the door starts to close... too late to stop a xenomorph from nearly getting to the heroes (and dousing Hicks with acid). Towards the end when the Queen alien is pursuing them, Ripley barely gets into the service elevator in time, driving the Queen back with her flamethrower just as it's running out of fuel. The Queen is snarling in fury when a second elevator arrives, summoned by Ripley's frantic button pushing. |

In 1967, Daryl Hall and John Oates were both with separate bands at a competition in Philadelphia when a gunfight broke out between two rival gangs. They both ran to the same service elevator to escape, started talking, found they shared interests and once they discovered they were attending the same college, they eventually began hanging out with each other.

The No Mercy mission from PAYDAY: The Heist, being set in the same hospital as the Left 4 Dead campaign of the same name, has the crew escape to the roof using the elevator for a helicopter rescue. There's a chance that the elevator will lose power mid-escape and fall to the basement, though this has almost no effect on the gameplay; instead of the helicopter, the crew escapes via an ambulance parked in a basement entrance. | |

Both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 have campaigns where the survivors fighting off waves of zombies while they wait for the elevator doors to open up. Often viciously averted in VS Mode, when smart infected players spit acid into the elevator or pull a survivor back OUT just as the doors are closing. | |
