Pictures can be worth a thousand words, and graphics depicting the spread of a threat across the landscape can often convey its scope more effectively than Storyboarding the Apocalypse. Whether it's a Zombie Apocalypse, The Plague, an advancing natural or man-made catastrophe, a World-Wrecking Wave or something more conventional like a military invasion from The Empire, there's no quicker way to show one's audience that an entire region is being overwhelmed than to display a map with rapidly-growing colored blotches or arrows (nearly always red) spreading across it. Sometimes this is used to illustrate what's actually happening in-Verse, while other times it's done to show what will happen if the heroes don't avert a disaster in time. Ominous contour lines or color-coding to indicate the severity of damage are optional. Often displayed on The Big Board or Ominous Multiple Screens in The War Room / Mission Control. See also Sensor Suspense and Bombers on the Screen. Closely related to Snowballing Threat. Inversions might display the outward spread of a positive effect, such as a World-Healing Wave. Examples |

The Simpsons: Played for Laughs on a Treehouse of Horror sketch ("Send in the Clones"), showcasing how an invasion of clone Homers will devastate the United States. While everybody else has been struck with wide-eyed horror, Homer is despairing because of the lack of snacks in The War Room. Another episode has a scene illustrating the spread of a bedbug infestation in Springfield, a deliberate Shout-Out to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, they even play Patrick Doyle's "Caesar's Stand" right out of the Apes soundtrack and show a random panel of an angry chimp riding on a horse. |

Pandemic (unrelated to the video game) basically is a Spreading Disaster Map Graphic, with the players in the roles of epidemiologists traveling the world trying to keep several different epidemics under control simultaneously, and ultimately to cure them. The "spreading" part is mostly semi-random, though there is a clever mechanic that causes infections to tend to grow in already-infected cities rather than scatter isolated cases across the globe. It is more literal, however, when the disease in one city goes unchecked long enough to cause an outbreak into its neighboring cities. | |

In the Supernatural episode "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One" (S02, Ep21), this trope is inverted when Bobby shows Dean an interstate map of the United States with no notes or marks and says this represents all demonic signs and omens in the last month. Dean and Bobby realize that the absence of any demonic activity, including low level activity like exorcisms, can not be a good sign and leaves them with no way to track Sam. | |

James Bond: In Octopussy, General Orlov uses a computer display to show how quickly Soviet forces will be able to overwhelm western Europe if he is allowed to implement his invasion plans. Of course, from Orlov's perspective, this is not a disaster but a triumph, but the rest of the military council thinks he is insane. No Time to Die: Bond and Nomi find one in the manufacturing facility on the Island Base, though in this case, it's a simulation run by the villain to see how far the biological weapon being produced there could potentially spread if it's released. |

Documentary series The Vietnam War uses this to dramatize American fears of the spread of communism. One graphic shows the (imagined) Soviet spread of communism into Iran and Turkey and Greece, another shows Red China spreading communism into Burma and Malaya and North Korea, and a third illustrates the "domino theory" in which Americans feared all of southeast Asia would go communist if Vietnam did. | |

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): The film makes frequent use of Monarch's digital global maps. After Ghidorah is freed in Antarctica and escapes, the hurricane he quickly forms around himself (which is shown on Monarch's maps to be roughly the size of Central America) is represented with bright red-and-yellow color and it stands out starkly against the map's blue colors. After Ghidorah awakens all the Titans and commands them to begin ravaging man and nature alike, Monarch's world maps are dotted with over a dozen red Titan-indicators, and most of the maps are also now indicating fast-moving orange swell lines coating the atmosphere (the official novelization confirms this is due to Ghidorah's Weather Manipulation spreading storms all over the planet). | |

A rare comedic example in Dad's Army: the Animated Credits Opening shows three Union Jack arrows advancing into Belgium, before a group of Swastika-emblazoned arrows sweep over western Europe (including one that gets lost for a bit), forcing them back to their start point in Northern France, whereupon the now single arrow pulls back across the Channel. All set to a jaunty tune about how Britain's not beaten yet. For added Genius Bonus value, the arrows actually do offer a fairly accurate (if rather simplified) depiction of the real-life Nazi invasion of France and subsequent British withdrawal.note The initial course of the British arrows seems to represent the Dyle Plan, which took the British Expeditionary Force on a rapid route into Belgium, only for this plan to fail when the Axis Powers routed the advance. the German arrow "that gets lost a bit" represents a German assault that was stopped dead in the only British almost-a-victory in France in 1940; thus deterred from advancing to Dunkirk, this German formation was sent further west to completely cut off British from French forces. | |

Command & Conquer: Red Alert: The opening cinematic of the game also ends with the camera slowly zooming out of a map of Europe when suddenly a sword with the Hammer and Sickle on the hilt flies out of nowhere, strikes in the center of Germany, and red splotches begins to grow at various points on the European landmass. All this while "Hell March" plays the sounds of marching soldiers. This sequence also appears in several Game Over cinematics for the Allies. | |

The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny uses an Advancing Disaster Map Graphic at the end of the first act and the beginning of the second, which project onto a map a moving arrow representing the track of the hurricane. Loudspeaker announcements report the destruction of each town in its path as it slowly advances directly towards Mahagonny. However, the arrow suddenly swerves in a semicircle around Mahagonny, miraculously sparing the city from certain doom. | |

In Octopussy, General Orlov uses a computer display to show how quickly Soviet forces will be able to overwhelm western Europe if he is allowed to implement his invasion plans. Of course, from Orlov's perspective, this is not a disaster but a triumph, but the rest of the military council thinks he is insane. | |

In the geography edutainment game Agent USA, this is one of the functions of the info centers that can be found in state capitals. They will show where the Fuzzbomb is currently lurking, and a projection of how its fuzz plague is likely to spread.

In Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, the story tells how Belka's poor economy allowed the eastern portion of the country to secede and become independent nations, including Ustio. Belka's economic problems didn't end, and their borders continued to shrink, allowing those new nations to further expand, and allowing Osea to claim some of the country's western borders. Belka went to war started expanding outwards to reclaim their lost borders and acquire more resources. They even invaded the southern country of Sapin, who wasn't even involved. Later, the map shows about 50% of Belka surrender and let allied forces move in. This left the original Principality of Belka with only about 35% of the territory the country had before their economic problems and the war. |

In the game Plague Inc., the parts of the map that are infected by a deadly plague become more and more covered in tiny red dots until the entire country is red. This is the infection phase. When these countries face fatalities, the more people that die, the more the countries turn a bloody dark red. Furthermore, ships and planes that carry the infection leave a red trail rather than a white trail. | |

Enemy at the Gates opens with a graphic showing the Nazi conquest of Europe, ending as the wave of advance gets to Stalingrad. Curiously, they show Nazi Germany starting out with its mid-war borders and invading their Allies (Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgarianote Those first two did happen historically later on, but that's not what they're showing) and several neutral countries (Switzerland, Spain, Turkey) as well. Although one possibility is that they're simply showing the german spread of influence, whether by military conquest or by converting nations into sympathetic allies. | |

It's used to further effect in the novelization where, after the nuke is stolen by the MUTOs, a map indicates to Monarch and the military the blast zone shifting as the nuke is being moved by Ford (how the nuke can be tracked is never explained, given how it had to be fitted with clockwork to stop the MUTOs' EMP deactivating the mechanism). | |
