There has been an outbreak of The Plague. Despite any quarantine protocols and maneuvers made to combat the spread of the disease, it's broken through every blockade, barrier, and checkpoint. Curfews and emergency broadcasts are initiated. Carriers are mixing with the general population, and the breakdown of society is imminent. The powers that be decide that the situation has gotten way out of hand, and extreme measures are taken in desperation — checkpoints open fire on civilians, whether they're carriers or not. The heroes of the story now find themselves at odds with the CDC-variants working in conjunction with the military, fighting to escape being Trapped in Containment with whatever danger provoked the quarantine. Sub-Trope of Godzilla Threshold. Compare It's the Only Way to Be Sure, in which the entire population in the quarantined area is eliminated, as opposed to only those who are trying to escape. Contrast No FEMA Response, where a disastrous situation is bad enough that even this type of response would be justified (and maybe even accepted), but circumstances make it flat-out impossible. Very common in Zombie Apocalypse stories, for obvious reasons. |

inFAMOUS: The first game is set during one such quarantine, as FEMA has the entire island under lockdown due to the sudden spread of an infectious illness which is actually radiation sickness, although it's less to do with protecting citizens as much is it about keeping a Weapon of Mass Destruction from escaping the city until they reclaim it. In inFAMOUS: Second Son, Augustine and the DUP set up shop in Seattle in the hopes of recapturing a group of conduits who have escaped their custody and taken refuge in the town. She uses her powers over concrete to block or demolish all means of entering or exiting the city, heavily regulating the citizens' daily lives under her draconian rule in a twisted sense of ensuring safety. It is then revealed that Augustine had allowed the conduits to escape as a gambit to show that her agency is still useful, staging the entire reason for the quarantine. |

Worm: Especially awful villains go to the Birdcage, an ultra prison designed so that nobody leaves, ever. The whole complex is suspended inside a hollowed mountain, which is a perfect vacuum and guarded by an army of drones. Any attempt to breach the walls, even with superpowers, will cause the whole complex to suffocate and the drones to start shooting whoever's left. Other defenses, such as spatial warping, are suspected but unconfirmed. The mountain is also hardened against electricity and radiation to ensure no communication can enter or leave. Prisoners get monthly deliveries of newspapers, food, uniforms, and novels, but otherwise must fend for themselves. Any city attacked by the Simurgh is quarantined once she's driven away, because the Simurgh uses a combination of future sight, telepathy, and induced psychosis to turn people she interacts with into Disaster Dominoes that will cause more disasters months or years down the line. People attempting to leave the affected city without very rare authorization are shot on sight, and those that are permitted to leave are tattooed to ensure everyone knows they're a potential hazard. Mention is made of other extant threats that are quarantined to specific areas because they're too powerful and hostile to destroy or apprehend. One example is Nilbog, a supervillain capable of creating intelligent lifeforms and entire ecosystems which he can then control, who is quarantined within Ellisburg, New York. |

In the backstory to Star Trek Online, a bloodfire epidemic broke out on the Romulan planet Kevratas, and Praetor Taris ordered the navy to blockade the planet as a quarantine measure. However, General Tebok defied Taris' order to put down the subsequent revolt by force, starting a long-running power struggle that eventually led to the navy overthrowing Taris and installing Sela as praetor. | |

Empire from the Ashes: Many planets of the Fourth Empire attempted this when a horrific bioweapon was accidentally unleashed, setting up systems that shot down ships either approaching or leaving the planet depending on whether it was infected or not, but most worlds were unsuccessful. The only planet known to have succeeded was Pardal from the third book, whose inhabitants subsequently went insane and destroyed all technology when they heard the Empire dying all around them on their Hypercom. | |

Subnautica: Turns out to be central to the game's plot. The Precursors encountered a bacterium called the Kharaa, which spread to their homeworlds and the death toll was an estimated 143 billion when they enacted a quarantine. Any planet with the Kharaa on it was cut off from space travel: any ship attempting to either land on a quarantined planet or take off from it would be obliterated without warning. It doesn't seem to have been enough: the Precursors appear to be extinct, but their automatic "quarantine enforcement" systems are still active... and they're the reason your ship was shot down and you're now stranded. | |

In the prologue of The Last of Us, a soldier holds Joel and his daughter Sarah at gunpoint as they try to escape the Infected-overrun city. The soldier confers with his CO over the radio regarding the pair of civilians... and then reluctantly opens fire. The suggestion is that the military is gunning down everyone fleeing the city, as this is when the Infection is brand-new, everyone is panicked, and they don't have reliable ways of detecting Zombie Infectees just yet. | |

The Duke maintains a special unit of his army to enforce quarantine (the Ghouls), and anyone who attempts to leave by bridge or boat gets shot down by archers.

In Resident Evil (2002), the Hive's security instantly locks down the entire facility and kills everyone inside to contain the T-Virus... even though a self-contained, sealed air circulation system could have done the same thing with far smaller losses of personnel and equipment (Umbrella is infamously Stupid Evil in both the movie and video game continuities, but are even worse about it in the films). | |

Escape from New York: The entirety of Manhattan Island is made into a prison, and thousands of convicts run around among the ruins preying upon each other. The opening scene shows a few convicts trying to circumvent the wall on a raft. A gunship helicopter spotlights them and issues one warning to turn back. When the response is unsatisfactory, the men and their raft are liquefied by gunfire. Given what we see of the city-turned-prison camp during the rest of the film, this might well cross over with another trope entirely. The novelization turns this trope even more literal by mentioning the fact the government exploited the fact the city was hit with a massive nerve gas attack to justify blocking off the city to begin with — turning it into a Penitentiary was just the natural evolution of that. The sequel, Escape from L.A., gives Los Angeles the same treatment. After an earthquake separates the city from the US mainland, the government turns it into a walled-off, heavily guarded colony for the morally undesirable. Anyone convicted of any crime can either choose to repent and be electrocuted or accept lifetime exile to the island. |

Most of the problems in Dead Cells stem from the King's horrific mismanagement of the Malaise outbreak. He ordered that anyone even suspected of having the Malaise to be thrown into the rapidly-overflowing prison island, and that anyone confirmed to have it to be executed. It's also implied that this made the Malaise worse; infected corpses were dumped into the island's drinking water supply, and the mass open graves attracted insects that spread the disease further. | |

CTU enacts a quarantine of the hotel to prevent the virus from spreading and Michelle Dessler is forced to shoot a man who tries to flee after being warned not to. Most of the hotel residents later opt to take suicide capsules offered to them to be spared a horrible death. Oh, and the virus gets out anyway. | |

Guilty Crown: During the second half of the series, the GHQ and Japanese government declare that everyone within Loop 7 have been contaminated by the Apocalypse Virus and set up a Closed Circle consisting of massive walls that are slowly closing in and destroying all structures in the way. The enclosing walls are also lined with automated turrets that will kill anyone who steps into the projected red light zone by the walls that indicates the minimum distance they must stay away. The full intent was for everyone to die, regardless of fighting over what precious resources remained, trying to escape, or just letting the walls close in and crush them all. Ignoring the logistics of removing all the countless thousands of tons of rubble the walls are pushing with each building that gets destroyed and that the physical walls themselves seem to have no issue with closing in on each other, by the end of the series, all that is left of Loop 7 is a few hundred meters away from the academy that the protagonists have holed up inside. | |

A kindly doctor in the Upper City found a cure, but the Sith confiscated his samples and notes. You can get a sample he can use to make a vaccine and serum to cure infected people, but it's All for Nothing, as Malak gets trigger-happy and carpet-bombs the planet. | |

Outbreak has the U.S. military using this option to stop the disease, culminating with blowing up the town with a massive blockbuster. Played with because the General Ripper behind the quarantine wants the disease as a bio-weapon and this cannot be done if it's publicly known that there is a cure. | |

In The Lost Fleet series, the fleet charged with isolating the moon Europa and the engineered disease accidentally created on it have standing orders to destroy any ship that lands on the moon so it can't take off if they can't prevent it from landing. If the quarantine is broken and a ship does make it off and gets back to Earth or the colonies on Mars, the fleet is to destroy everything man-made in the solar system that could possibly take the virus elsewhere, annihilate all life on Mars and on Earth, and then hurl itself into the sun. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A variant in the two-part episode "Past Tense"; before the year 2024, the government repealed the real-life Employment Act of 1946. Sanctuary Districts were created to help those unemployed find jobs. Unfortunately, not only did the conditions inside the districts quickly deteriorate, but the repealing of the act made unemployment and homelessness essentially illegal. The undesirables of society (i.e., the woefully homeless, the mentally ill, the criminally violent, etc.) were shoved under the rug, into these districts, and were not allowed to leave. Outside the districts, society was prim, proper, and clean. In the fictional history of Star Trek, what led to the abolishment of the districts was an uprising by Los Angeles district denizen Gabriel Bell, who fought for better conditions and treatment. A rumor spread that the district bureaucracy workers had been killed in a firefight, and fortified law enforcement stormed the processing center, killing all of the protestors. As it turned out, none of the workers had been harmed, and public opinion on the Sanctuary Districts immediately changed. In the episode, Sisko and Bashir end up in the Los Angeles district. They attempt to avoid interfering with history, but they become involved when Bell, by chance, is killed while coming to their defense, and to get back to their own proper time, Sisko takes up Bell's identity... | |

Mass Effect 2: Mordin's recruitment mission deals with a quarantine in a sector of Omega as imposed by Aria. It was spread by vorcha working for the Collectors so humans in the area would be easy pickings. A guard refuses to let anyone into the district without a proper way to defend themselves and won't let anyone out. Bodies are burned. Any non-humans who enter the district get sick (aside from quarians and geth). People are rioting. Of course, Mordin creates a cure and saves the district. | |

28 Weeks Later features living humans being reintroduced into London after the zombie plague of the previous film had depopulated the whole of Great Britain. A strict military quarantine is in effect in case any traces of the virus remain, with protocol for a suspected outbreak being "herd all civilians into a single, too-small room and lock the doors (which are quite flimsy)." Unsurprisingly, when an outbreak does occur this proves worse than useless and orders are given first to shoot everyone on sight regardless of whether they're infected, and once that proves ineffective to begin using nerve gas before finally firebombing the entire city. It doesn't work. | |

Resident Evil Film Series: In Resident Evil (2002), the Hive's security instantly locks down the entire facility and kills everyone inside to contain the T-Virus... even though a self-contained, sealed air circulation system could have done the same thing with far smaller losses of personnel and equipment (Umbrella is infamously Stupid Evil in both the movie and video game continuities, but are even worse about it in the films). In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Umbrella Corporation decides to quarantine Raccoon City as the T-Virus escapes the Hive. As a priority, they evacuate Umbrella VIPs when the zombies reach the blockade, then start shooting everything in sight. |

World War Z: Bohdan Kondratiuk, a Ukranian soldier who was stationed at a refugee checkpoint became a witness to this during the Great Panic. Not only did the checkpoint not actually have the resources to properly check refugees for infection, their only real strategy turned out to be bombing the bridge crossing with nerve gas, killing everyone on it. Bohdan was horrified, but realized why when about one in ten got back up again as zombies, showing just how many of the civilians were already infected. | |

Attempted in The Division: The Dark Zone was an initial attempt by the JTF, Last Man Battalion, and "First Wave" Division agents to quarantine the infected and hopefully treat or cure them in a centralized area in the middle of Manhattan. However, they lost control of the situation there, causing the JTF to retreat from the area and the Last Man Battalion to go rogue with the remaining First Wave agents joining them. All inter-borough travel in New York City has been halted, with only JTF-approved convoys being allowed through the few remaining passages between boroughs. |

Lord Quenton Hightower closed the city gates, burned every ship in port and commanded the guards to kill everyone who tried to flee, "be they men, women or babes in arms." When the plague had run its course, the furious survivors killed him and his young son. To this day, some still spit at the mention of his name, but in Pycelle's old age, he considers the story an example of those who do what need to be done. | |

One Piece: The kingdom of Flevance had a massive mine of "Amber Lead", a material that was considered very desirable... except that it was actually highly poisonous and ended up killing the entire population. And then the neighboring countries mistook Amber Lead poisoning for contagious and started indiscriminately killing everyone who tried to leave. Well, except for the royal family and high-ranked nobles, who managed to escape before the crisis went really bad. These include the people who most actively sought out the Amber Lead. Of course. Worse yet, it doesn't end there. In their desperation, those who had yet to die of the illness took arms with weapons made of the very mineral that was killing them and attempted to break through the quarantine for treatment. The surrounding countries took it as a declaration of war and sent their armies to decimate the population and burn the country of Flevance to the ground. Only the then-10-year-old Trafalgar Law managed to evade military forces and escape genocide. A similar event happened to the island of Ohara, which had a Buster Call unleashed on it, razing the entire island and all its inhabitants, and even sinking a ship full of civilians trying to flee, with Nico Robin as the Sole Survivor. In this case, the "contagion" was forbidden knowledge related to the Void Century. |

The Stand features several attempts at these (all wildly unsuccessful) including a military checkpoint that opens fire on civilians. In fact, it starts with one of these failing, as Private Cambion escaping the lockdown at Fort Pastor means any attempts at containment were pointless from the start, since Captain Trips spreads too fast for quarantine to be feasible. | |

Plague Inc.: If things get bad enough, governments can start bombing infected cities. Unfortunately for humanity, they tend to only resort to this after your plague has gotten completely out of control; so unless you're playing Mega-Brutal and that buys them just enough time to finish the cure, it's not gonna save them. In Cure Mode, this is one of the unique abilities of the Bio-Weapon scenario, aptly named "Extreme Measures"; the gist is that your field agents will gun down any infected in whatever country you send them to. On higher difficulties (or just if one is so inclined), parking them at a bottleneck country for a locked-down continent and letting the disease burn itself out can be a more reliable solution than actually curing it. |

Kaidan is currently being held under one of these in The Secret World as part of the Japanese government's attempts to contain the Filth. Quite apart from the fact that literal walls have been erected around the initial exclusion zone, but guard towers have been set up around the zone's border, and the harbor has been essentially blockaded by the navy; anyone trying to escape by land or by sea will be met with deadly force. Any infectees attempting to surrender to the guard towers for treatment as per the government's instructions will be executed on sight. Sadly, all of this is completely justified, given just how nasty the Filth is... but unfortunately, these measures are also completely ineffectual: the first wall of the exclusion zone has already be breached, airborne Filth entities are able to circumvent the defences, the Black Signal is capable of transmitting himself beyond city limits, and infectees are already turning up outside Kaidan. | |

In Pathologic 2, Isidor's Dark Secret is that, the last time the Sand Pest hit, he ordered the district it was in shut off. Everyone in there eventually got infected and died, because there was no other place they could go to. Given that the Sand Pest is a mystical, sapient disease, Isidor's actions may have been justified. Fortunately, his son is able to find a better way not long after the disease returns. | |

Upon death, the corpse excudes a cloud of spores, infecting even more people. There's no cure for this, and the Justice Department is forced to lure in every infected civilian with the promise of treatment, then seal them up in quarantine, and wait for them all to die. With no availible hosts left, the fungus dies out. | |

In inFAMOUS: Second Son, Augustine and the DUP set up shop in Seattle in the hopes of recapturing a group of conduits who have escaped their custody and taken refuge in the town. She uses her powers over concrete to block or demolish all means of entering or exiting the city, heavily regulating the citizens' daily lives under her draconian rule in a twisted sense of ensuring safety. It is then revealed that Augustine had allowed the conduits to escape as a gambit to show that her agency is still useful, staging the entire reason for the quarantine. | |

In the Secret Army episode "Ring of Rosies", La Résistance discover that an Allied airman being sheltered by them caught bubonic plague from his service in Africa, and so they must isolate his aircrew to prevent plague running rampant among a population whose resistance to infection has been lowered by the lack of food and medical care in wartime Europe. When an airman tries to escape and seek medical help, he's gunned down and his body burnt by Molotov Cocktail. | |

Pontypool has a town infected with a virus that has infected the English language. The military decides to bomb it when almost everyone in it has succumbed to it. It doesn't work and soon infects a news anchor of the BBC, thus possibly dooming the entire English-speaking world population. | |

Kingdom (2019): In response to the rapidly spreading outbreak, Cho Hak-ju orders the closing of all gates into Sangju, effectively sealing the entirety of the southern Korean peninsula from the capital Hanyang (present-day Seoul) and trapping the Crown Prince with a growing zombie horde. | |

The sequel, Escape from L.A., gives Los Angeles the same treatment. After an earthquake separates the city from the US mainland, the government turns it into a walled-off, heavily guarded colony for the morally undesirable. Anyone convicted of any crime can either choose to repent and be electrocuted or accept lifetime exile to the island. | |

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire has this as part of Prince Xizor's backstory. An Imperial hazard lab on the Falleen homeworld had a containment breach that released an incurable contagion in a major city, so Darth Vader ordered it to be "sterilized" via Orbital Bombardment, killing 200,000 inhabitants, including Xizor's mother, father, brother, two sisters, and three uncles. While the crime lord is already trying to get Vader killed or disgraced so he can take his place as the Emperor's favorite, it does make Xizor's quest all the more personal, and as soon as Xizor learns that the Rebel hero Luke Skywalker is Vader's son, Xizor tries to arrange Luke's death as another way to get back at Vader. | |

Pretty much any Dead Rising game invokes this, due in part to the large-scale outbreaks and to set a time limit for exploring the game world. The real reason, though, is that the military really doesn't want to take any chances of some random reporter, motocross champion, or mechanic to stumble upon the military's real role in the outbreak. | |

This is a minor plot point in Dead Space. The automatic system of the ship the game takes place in treats the not-quite-zombies "necromorphs" as an unknown infection it must contain. Unfortunately, this mostly just slows down the protagonist since necromorphs can access the ventilation system. | |

Halloween Unspectacular: In "Monsters in the Darkness", a Zombie Apocalypse hits Amity Park, leading to half the city being sealed off by the army, while troops with black suits and gas masks move through the quarantined zone, killing everyone (infected and not) that they come across... much to the surprise and confusion of the army officers maintaining the quarantine, as those aren't their troops. | |

In Babylon 5, it's mentioned that the Centauri are keeping a planet under a strict blockade, with orders to blow up any ship stupid enough to try to land or, worse, successfully landing and then taking off, due to the presence of the quasi-sentient Na'ka'leen Feeders, who will drain any sentient of intelligence or infect them to create more Feeders, making a single Feeder getting off-world a danger on a galactic scale. While the Centauri have developed protocols to keep single Feeders contained and isolate infect subjects, they know better than to take the risk. | |

Crusader Kings II allows you to bar the gates to your manor during an epidemic, secluding your court within from the infected outside — technically an inversion, but the basic idea is the same. This will significantly reduce the chance of any courtiers (including your ruler and family) catching the disease and spreading it through your court, but it comes with risks of its own — people may try to break quarantine to reach out to friends and loved ones on the other side, and with especially long periods of seclusion you may run the risk of running out of food before the epidemic burns out. | |
