Take The Bridge off the Cool Ship, and put it in The White House or an Elaborate Underground Base, and what you get is The War Room. It's the nerve center for an entire country, criminal organization, secret society, hidden military base, or whatnot. It generally comes in one or a combo of the following three flavors:
A dark, cavernous room filled with rows and rows of consoles with monitors, radar scopes, Big Boards and other sorts of technology, staffed by an entire warren of Bridge Bunnies.
A dark and not-quite-so-cavernous boardroom, with a long central table with chairs around it, lit by a spotlight. If located in a Supervillain Lair, the seats around the table (except for the head one) may have trap doors under them to dispose of those who fail or otherwise displease the boss.
A, once again, dark room with a large, circular table in the middle, a la Dr. Strangelove.
Every version will prominently feature an enormous monitor that fills one entire wall. If The War Room is on Earth, the monitor will generally display a map of the world, marked up with real-time data about the organization's activities or serving as a Spreading Disaster Map Graphic. A large number of clocks above the big map, displaying time in different cities around the globe, is optional. All of this serves to keep the leadership (and the viewer behind the fourth wall) well-informed of the big picture.
Cue the ominous marching music as the leader sits down and listens while the underlings brief him on the situation. You can usually expect all the attendees in The War Room to be remarkably well informed of any relevant details and be able to instantly provide up-to-the-second intelligence when the senior person starts asking questions. Expect the meeting deciding fate of the 178 people in the Hostage Situation or how to take out the Big Bad's Doomsday Device to be concluded in less than five minutes.
The Invisible President, the Supporting Leader, The Brigadier and the Big Bad (all may or may not be part of The Omniscient Council of Vagueness) tend to spend a lot of time in rooms like these. Mission Control is invariably based here. If it's for the good guys, expect a lot of cheering coupled with a circular camera pan when The Hero reports his success.
Many naval vessels have a "ward room", the officer's mess, which is often misheard as the War Room. Here, the "war room" proper would be the Combat Information Center, or CIC.

When the Enterprise NX-01 Took a Level in Badass before season 3, one of the cargo bays was converted into the equivalent of a CIC. Archer and his officers spend at least as much time here as on The Bridge.

In Power Of Ether, while not exactly a "War room," panel 4 of this page looks quite similar. It's implied to be an emergency meeting room for all leaders of the 8 factions on Liba, as they decide what to do with the gifted. It Makes Sense in Context.

Dungeon Keeper Ami builds herself a command centre designed to work around the limitations of a Keeper's usual spell selection. She uses a team of warlocks to scry on the battlefield, receiving their information via Scavenger Room messages, and replying by having an imp write messages. It's a bit cobbled together, but it works, and gives her a significant tactical advantage over her rivals.

Animaniacs: Parodied in an episode where the Warners get pulled to Camelot to deal with a dragon that's causing havoc across the kingdom. Yakko calls his siblings to the War Room, then asks King Arthur where the War Room is. When Arthur says they don't have one, Wakko pulls one out of his bag. Inside is a setup that would make any general or Mad Scientist envious, with monitors on every wall showing the rampaging dragon and at the bottom a group of military leaders and scientistsnote including Dr. Strangelove around a table debating whether to destroy the dragon or capture it for study. The Warners decide to forget the War Room after that and deal with the dragon themselves.

Moriarty the Patriot: The Moriarty crew has a room in the basement of the London Moriarty manor in which to keep the tools of their murderous trade and William's plans for their crimes, as well as to discuss and brief William's crew on the details of the newest plot (although sometimes they simply do this in the living room as well). In "The Tea Party" chapter, Von Herder is stationed there to guard it and its secrets with deadly force if necessary, and its existence is why the Moriartys work so devotedly to keep people out of their home and hire no outside servants.

In the Discworld novel Jingo, Lord Rust turns the Rats Chamber (the council room in the Patrician's Palace) into one. The meeting table has been covered in sand to form a kind of map, and since everyone knows Klatch is all desert, Lord Rust assumes it's a good one. Once they actually arrive in Klatch, he uses a big tent for the same purpose.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Mission Control serves this purpose, not to be confused with Central Officer Bradford, who serves as your Mission Control during missions. It's a big, otherwise dark chamber whose main feature is a glowing holographic representation of the Earth - sometimes called the Geoscape as a throwback to the original game - that tracks alien activity, XCOM assets, the state of XCOM's member nations, and ongoing research and construction projects. A separate, adjacent Situation Room hosts The Big Board that offers additional information about XCOM's finances, requests from the Council of Nations, a news ticker showing the state of the war, and the all-important "Doom Tracker" showing how close XCOM is to shutting down due to lack of support.
In the Enemy Within expansion, after you identify and attack EXALT's secret headquarters, you'll discover they have an Evil Counterpart Mission Control featuring a big red holographic globe (contrasting XCOM's blue). Because Evil Pays Better, they also have wooden flooring, oriental rugs, animal hides, and a big plush armchair in front of the globe where their leader (escaped before you got there) presumably contemplated nefarious deeds. Also, the whole thing is a skyscraper penthouse.

Ur-example, type 1: the real-life Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center (CMOC) command and control complex in Colorado, and its counterparts in Stargate SG-1 and Jeremiah.
Home of NORAD. However, Reality Is Unrealistic and the real Command Center is much smaller than in the movies. When most shows and films were made it was even less impressive than it is today. Here is what it looks like today.◊
NORAD itself was based off of the earlier SAGE air defense system which in the 1950's was pure science fiction. Each SAGE center had a two story Sector Control Room with real time vector graphic interactive computer display terminals and a large display scree◊ where the brass could watch the fight against the Soviet bombers in near real time.
SAGE was in turn based off of the British sector stations and Group Operations Control Rooms◊ used as part of the air defense network in the Battle of Britain.

The revamped Normandy SR-2 in Mass Effect 3 has a full-fledged War Room with the actual name as it's where the war against the Reapers is being planned out and directed. It has another nifty holographic display that displays the progress of the Crucible superweapon and a console that shows your War Assets and how ready you are for the final battle. The table from Mass Effect 2 is still present, but now it's shifted to a side room and used only for negotiations.

Both Normandys of Mass Effect have these instead of the normal design. The SR1's is more of a Communication room that your crew uses as a meeting place. The SR2 has a more classic design, with a large table in the center, though the view-screen in replaced with a nifty holographic display.

The movie Fail Safe, like its sparring partner Dr. Strangelove, is largely set in a cavernous underground war room where the characters receive constant reports on the possibility of impending nuclear war. While likely done largely for budget reasons, it's effective at getting the audience into the same mindset as the characters, some of whom begin to conceive of the whole thing as an elaborate puzzle or exercise, forgetting the staggering human costs at stake. Until the series of Wham Shots that end the movie, which suddenly remind the viewer of the human lives that are about to be lost in the limited nuclear exchange that follows.

When Jake first meets General Doubleday in Animorphs. Jake notes that it seems an awful like what you'd see in a movie; old guys chomping cigars, guys in suits and a big map (that has his hometown crossed out, presumably because it isn't there any more).

Daredevil (2015): The penthouse that Wilson Fisk manipulates the FBI into moving him to upon his release from prison contains a secret stairway from the bedroom down to a war room. From here, he has a bank of monitors that he can use to tap into security cameras anywhere in New York City. In episode 4, it is from this room that he watches over monitors as inmates on his payroll attempt to kill Matt in an orchestrated riot. Later in the season, he regularly conducts meetings with Felix Manning in this room, and at the end of the season, it's the sight of the event that proves to be his undoing, Vanessa ordering Ray Nadeem to be murdered.

Game of Thrones: High lords typically have a war room in their castles or in the field where they plan their next move around an elaborate big board. The most frequently-featured one is the war room on Dragonstone (first used by Stannis, then Daenerys) with its huge table map of Westeros, which was built by Aegon the Conqueror before he invaded the continent three centuries earlier.
In Season 7, Cersei has the floor of a courtyard in the Red Keep painted into a map of Westeros, in order to better plan the upcoming war with her various enemies.

The sequel Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver features even more, as while the EQUAD War Room is mentioned in an early chapter, it's later revealed that there's also a smaller War Room at the Vanhoover Air Base, as well as at Fort Maple. In both of the latter cases, people have to be reminded they can't fight in there.

Doctor Who:
The Daleks have one in "Mission to the Unknown" and "The Daleks' Master Plan". Amusingly, there's rubber scuffs around the bottom of the circular table where the Daleks kept running their bumpers into it.
"The Stolen Earth" has a UNIT war room in their New York office, from which they declare a Red Alert when the Earth is abruptly relocated.
"Victory of the Daleks" has the Cabinet War Rooms as a major setting.

The navies in the Lensman series have entire ships devoted to being The War Room. They have no weapons, but do have strong defences, large tank-like displays showing the deployment of the fleet, and crowds of staff set up to communicate with individual sub-fleets and squadrons.
Truth in Television. The US Navy does in fact have a pair of ships specifically designed and built to act as command and control vessels for major amphibious assaults — the Blue Ridge-class.
Truth In Television in more ways than one: The idea of a dedicated CICs on US naval vessels was "specifically, consciously, and directly" inspired by Lensman and the works of Robert A. Heinlein.

Kingdom Hearts:
Maleficent and her Disney villain allies had a war room in their HQ in Hollow Bastion. There they kept a close eye on Sora through a hologram, while thinking out strategies on how to find the Princessess of Hearts or how to conquer the worlds around the universe. The fighting in the war room happens when Sora, Donald, Goofy and their new ally Beast took down Maleficent.
Her original castle at Villain's Vale had one too, but we never see it occupied by more than two people.
The Organization XIII has their own war room in Castle That Never Was, which is completely white with extremely tall chairs standing in a circle. There they discuss their plans, figuring out their next move or commenting on the several setbacks Sora inflicts on them.
Merlin's house is basically the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee's war room. There they also discuss strategies on how to combat the MCP, the Heartless and the Nobodies and on how to rebuild Hollow Bastion to its former glory. They share information with Sora, Donald and Goofy from there. It's also from there Cid that control Hollow Bastion's defence system called Claymores.
Hades has his own personal war room in his chamber, with a Cosmic Chess Game board lifted directly from his movie.
