Freedom: seven letters that can start an avalanche of impassioned speeches and any number of revolutions. Also, something that characters and players are frequently deprived of in fiction. A frequent plot element used in stories is to trap the characters in an inescapable location. Well, mostly inescapable. The only means of escape is a damaged car, plane, ship, space ship, Time Machine, or weirder vehicle. In order to escape this Closed Circle they have to repair the vehicle, which won't be easy. (Otherwise, what would they do for the rest of the episode?) Usually this will require a chain of Fetch Quests for tools, parts, fuel, and potentially crewmembers. If the vessel is large enough, they may well be trapped inside it and adrift at sea / space / Hyper Space / the time stream, often with the further inconvenience of dwindling supplies and leaks. For extra fun, there are enemies inside and outside the vehicle intent on killing them, and wherever it is they're trapped is about to get attacked and/or destroyed, so there's a time limit on escape as well. Named after the film The Great Escape, where Allied POWs plan to escape their prison. See also Resurrect the Wreck. |

Eden starts off with a spaceship crashing on a planet. Thanks to the ceramite hull, the crew is unharmed and the ship still basically spaceworthy after the crash, but getting it in any shape to fly means working off a long, long list of repairs. | |

The Vorkosigan Saga novel Falling Free has elements of this. The plot requires the characters to gain control of a space station, jury-rig it into something moveable, and then hijack an interstellar cargo vessel in order to escape. So technically they're building new stuff, but it keeps breaking while they build it... | |

In Das Boot, U-96 sinks to the floor of the Strait of Gibraltar badly damaged after an attack, with stuck diving planes, cracked batteries, heavy flooding, limited oxygen, and at a depth well below the boat's rated limit.

Part of the plot of Dead Calm. A sailing couple find a drifting yacht and rescue the Sole Survivor. He turns out to be an insane killer who makes off with their yacht and the female protagonist, leaving her husband trapped on board the slowly sinking vessel, which he has to repair in order to chase after them and rescue her. He can't, and is reduced to building a raft and setting the remains on fire to attract attention. Fortunately his wife has (temporarily) overcome the killer and regained control of the boat so he can be rescued. | |

As you rescue your friends in Far Cry 3, they gradually repair an old fishing boat found wrecked in a sea cave. Why they don't just use one of the modern, fully-functional boats or helicopters dotting the islands isn't addressed, but presumably they wouldn't have been able to travel rough seas or have the range needed to reach safe land. | |

In Tau Zero, the deceleration module on a Ramscoop starship is destroyed from an impact with an interstellar dust cloud. Unable to kill the ramscoop due to the radiation it protects the ship from and unable to perform an extra-vehicular activity to fix it for much the same reason, the crew is forced to continue accelerating as they work to modify the ship internally for deceleration, their tau steadily approaching zero as they build up speed. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: In "The Enemy Within", a part of the crew (including Sulu) are stuck on a rapidly freezing planet while Kirk, Spock, and Scotty struggle to repair the ship's transporter to rescue them, all while battling Kirk's evil twin. In "The Galileo Seven", an Enterprise shuttlecraft is pulled off course and crashes on an unknown planet. The crew is repeatedly attacked by primitive humanoids and there's dissent over Commander Spock's decisions while Scotty attempts to repair the shuttle. |

Kingdom Come: Deliverance: The core focus of the From the Ashes DLC. Following the storyline event of a large raid on the bandit stronghold of Pribyslavitz, the local lord, Sir Divish makes plans to rebuild and restore the hamlet after it's fallen into disrepair. He sets this task onto the protagonist Henry along with appointing him the local bailiff as well to oversee the reconstructions as well as to handle any disputes that crop up from the growing population. Henry's main tasks are creating enough structures to house a small but feasible population, finding ways for the hamlet to produce enough income to sustain itself, and restoring the dilapidated church as a community focal point. In exchange, Divish promises him a personal income for the renewed village's first five years of existence; however, if Henry (and the player) fails to succeed in these tasks, the villagers desert the would-be hamlet and Divish revokes his title. | |

Warhammer 40,000: In the grim darkness of the far future, the account of Fulgrim performing The Great Repair on the planet of Chemos made it such a beautiful shining beacon in the midst of darkness. Once upon a time, a group of Orks crash-landed on a desolate planet. The Greenskins worked hard to make their vessel space-worthy again, but as the project neared completion, an argument started over which of the Orks' two gods the ship resembled, Gork or Mork. The result was a merry civil war that all but destroyed what progress had been made, and even though the name Gorkamorka was chosen as a compromise, work on the ship stalled as Gorkers and Morkers continued to happily fight each other, as Orks are wont to do. |

Doctor Who: In "42", the Doctor and his companion are trapped on a damaged spacecraft that is falling into a sun. They are separated from the TARDIS by the rising temperatures and must repair the spacecraft to escape. In "Voyage of the Damned", the Doctor is trapped on board a space replica of the Titanic in orbit around Earth, and must get it flying again to keep it from crashing into Buckingham Palace (vaporising London in the process). In "Planet of the Dead", the Doctor must improvise repairs to a city bus, severely damaged in a wormhole trip to a desert planet, in order to drive it back through the wormhole to Earth. In "The Doctor's Wife", the Doctor is temporarily barred from regaining even the most basic of access to his TARDIS by a powerful and malevolent alien. At one point, he has to follow it, so he uses what little time he has left to cobble together a very basic, very ramshackle TARDIS. It only consists of a control console held together by duct tape, spit, and faith, an implied power source beneath the console, and some improvised backdrop walls for barely-there shielding. Amazingly, though giving chase in this TARDIS is incredibly dangerous, even by the Doctor's standards, he narrowly pulls it off. That the consciousness of the Doctor's TARDIS (trapped in the body of a deceased lady) was a co-pilot to help him might have made the whole thing at least somewhat survivable. |

In one episode of Battlestar Galactica (2003), Kara Thrace crash lands on a nearby planet after winning a dogfight with a Cylon raider. Her leg is broken, her Viper is kaput, and the sandstorm she's in makes rescue unlikely. The only way to escape? Find, repair, and fly the Cylon raider back to the fleet! | |

The Star Trek: Voyager/Stargate Universe crossover "Destiny and Voyager: Crossroads" sees the crews of Destiny and Voyager join forces to get them both home after finding a wormhole linking the Milky Way galaxy in the Star Trek universe to the galaxy that Destiny is currently travelling through in its own universe. The final plan sees Destiny take both crews back to the Star Trek Earth (which is a journey of only a few months at Destiny's maximum speed where Voyager would still need over thirty years); the Voyager crew help to repair Destiny en route as much as possible and then Starfleet gives Destiny a more thorough repair job once it's docked at a starbase. Starting with fixing its hull damage, the repair work goes so far as to give its FTL engines such a complete overhaul that Destiny can travel at three times more than its previous top speed and no longer needs to run for at least four hours followed by four hours' 'downtime'. Analysing Destiny also gives Starfleet ideas for various future upgrades of their own ships. | |

In the first Dead Space game, repairing the deep-space mining ship Ishimura and finding out what the hell happened to everyone take second place to 'just' surviving. | |

The first third of Dead Space 3 is about finding a salvageable vessel in a massive field of debris and derelicts, then scrounging up enough spare parts to get it flying. | |

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis has a cable car in dire need of a power cord, oil, and a working fuse that the characters decide to use as an armored vehicle to escape the city. Too bad they forgot to check the brakes... | |

In The Smurfs (1981) episode "Never Smurf Off Till Tomorrow", six Smurfs are carried off by a hurricane inside a windmill into the chasm of an active volcano, which then crashes. Even worse is that the volcano is going to erupt soon, so Handy quickly devises a plan to convert the remains of the windmill into a primitive helicopter through which he and his fellow Smurfs can escape. | |

In Titan A.E., after being stranded on a "drifter colony" made of the fused-together hulks of old spaceships, Cale gets the idea that one of the dead ships might be fixable. He and Akima set about repairing and restoring it in order to use it as transportation. | |

Ghost Ship: After their tug the Arctic Warrior is sunk, the surviving members of the salvage crew decide that their best hope for survival is to patch the hole in the Antonia Graza's hull, pump out the water, free the rudder, and try to keep the ship from running aground on the rocks until rescue arrives. | |
