A standard plot/Myth Arc for Speculative Fiction: The Ordinary High-School Student, frequently their friends, and sometimes their enemies are all transported (often summoned) to another world — distant planet, a Magical Land, Alternate Universe, the past, The Future — where they find they have an important role to play in Events of Significance that are occurring at the same time as (or sometimes because of) their arrival. Usually there is no hope of their finding a means to return home until after the great threat facing them has been defeated. Occasionally, they will then question if they even want to leave, especially when there is an ongoing Fantastic Romance. These stories often feature alternate methods of bringing the protagonist to the new world, such as Reincarnation, swapping bodies with an inhabitant of the new world, or becoming their own video game avatar, though simple bodily transport is still common. In Japanese media, this genre is known as "Isekai" note Literally means "Another World", with such protagonists typically fitting their local demographic's flavor of hero note Stock Light Novel Heroes are common, though their Shonen and Shoujo counterparts are just as prominent. and usually involves said character gaining RPG-like powers on arrival (or at the very least, is set in a Role-Playing Game 'Verse). Although this sort of plot was introduced in popular media long before the term was coined, the majority of modern isekai stories are derived from Web Serial Novels or old stories reworked into Light Novels, with their premises and writing style even being noted as a subgenre: Narou Isekai.note From Shousetsuka ni Narou, a popular online fiction website where many of these stories were originally hosted A lot of these are also harem series, to the extent that a party of sexy heroines (or heroes) who are attracted to the protagonist has become part of the standard formula. During the 2010s, these types of stories grew so popular thanks to Japanese publishing companies like Alphapolis and Media Factory that, by the end of the decade, it would become an Undead Horse Trope, with audiences welcoming stories parodying or subverting the premise while straight-forward examples still retained their popularity. In Literature, this is often referred to as a "Portal Fantasy". This plot device is also extremely popular in Crossover events, as it's a good way of bringing together disparate settings in a semi-logical manner. If it's the hero's job to bring back a trapped person, it can become Rescued from the Underworld; while if someone else turns up to bring back the hero, it's Weirdness Search and Rescue. The inversion of this, where a person from the other world comes to ours, often inverts the premise along with it: Whereas an Earth hero usually gets called over to where the action is, the Otherworldly hero is usually transported where the action isn't, or becomes the action when they get there. Super-Trope to Portal Book, Portal Picture, Summon Everyman Hero, Fourth Wall Shut-In Story and Trapped in TV Land. Often overlaps with Down the Rabbit Hole, Fish out of Water, and You Can't Go Home Again. But if returning home is a goal, then there's overlap with There's No Place Like Home. When returning home proves to be relentlessly mundane and you wish you'd stayed in the magic world, it's So What Do We Do Now?. Alternatively, this problem may be avoided with I Choose to Stay. This trope is the inverse of Alien Among Us. Compare with Kidnapped by the Call. Contrast with Constructed World, which doesn't involve present-day Earth at all. For generic types of other dimensions, see Another Dimension. When it's the bad guy sent to another world, see Sealed Evil in Another World. See also The Homeward Journey. For the reincarnation flavor of this plot, see Reincarnate in Another World or if the new world was fictional in universe Media Transmigration. If the protagonist is lucky, it comes with a New Life in Another World Bonus. |

Discussed in the "Isekai" episode of Terrible Writing Advice, which lampshades the naked power fantasy aspects of the genre such as female characters being standard harem archetypes, the fact that most protagonists of the genre tend to have generic personalities for the audience to better project themselves onto as well as the hero getting slave girls as part of said harem. | |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie runs with Brooklyn residents Mario and Luigi accidentally being sent to different fantasy worlds - Mario to the Mushroom Kingdom and Luigi to the Dark Lands. This is a Mythology Gag that references early Mario adaptations like The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and the live-action film, which also had Mario trapped in the Mushroom Kingdom. | |

DIE: In 1991, a group of teenagers is sucked into the world of a new RPG that one of them created. It takes two years for them to learn that all they need to do to leave is unanimously agree to do so — unfortunately, as they do so, one of them is grabbed by the Grandmaster and left behind, eventually killing the Grandmaster and taking his place. 25 years after the others returned home, he drags them back into the game and forces them to play again, refusing to agree to leave unless they win. Eventually he's killed, but by this point two of the others have decided to stay for their own reasons, leaving the other three trapped by default. | |

Its sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, follows in the same vein, while the third movie, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, inverts this by taking two of the chimpanzee characters from the scifi world of the previous films and pulling them back in time to the 20th Century. | |

Flash Gordon is about the titular hero and his friends getting stranded on the planet Mongo. In the original comic strip, they do eventually escape Mongo, return to Earth, and engage in still more voyages to other worlds, but the Mongo arc is the one everyone remembers and on which most subsequent adaptations have been based. The long-running comic eventually brought them back to Mongo and found an excuse to bring back the supposedly-dead Ming because, well, Flash Gordon didn't quite feel like Flash Gordon without them. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ant-Man: Dr. Hank Pym warns Scott Lang not to mess with the regulator on his suit that grants him his Sizeshifter abilities. If the regulator is turned off, the wearer will shrink down to a quantum level, forever trapped in the Acid-Trip Dimension between molecules. How does Hank know this? It's how his wife, a fellow size-changing hero, disappeared, and the sequel revolves around Scott working with the Pym family to bring her back. In The Stinger for the sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott finds himself in this predicament. Now equipped with a better understanding of the realm, Scott goes subatomic while the Pyms stay behind as Mission Control. However, seconds before they can bring him back to normal, they are all killed by Thanos, due to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness features this twice. The first time was when Doctor Strange and America Chavez accidentally stumbled into Earth-838, a Techno Dystopia, where they are drugged and arrested by the Illuminati, with Strange standing trial for his 838 counterpart's crimes against the multiverse. Strange, America and 838 scientist Christine Palmer manage to escape after the Scarlet Witch broke in and massacred the Illuminati, but she ends up abducting America and sending Strange and Palmer to a destroyed and ruined universe, where Strange is forced to Dreamwalk in order to escape. |

The Unbelievable Gwenpool stars Gwen Poole, a young Marvel Comics fangirl from what is either our reality or a world very similar to it, who through a Noodle Incident that she doesn't like to talk about and is apparently subject to numerous Cosmic Retcons, winds up on Earth-616, Marvel's "prime" universe. Using her encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise, she sets out to become a mercenary superhero in the hopes that it'll keep her from getting unceremoniously killed off. | |

Superman: Power Girl was the Supergirl of Earth-2, but, after the first Crisis, Earth-2 didn't exist anymore, and Kara was trapped into the single surviving universe. In Escape from the Phantom Zone, a dimensional vortex throws Supergirl, Batgirl and a friend of theirs into a parallel dimension, leaving them with no apparent way to return. In The Supergirl-Batgirl Plot, the titular heroines spend several days trapped in a pocket dimension, fighting an eldritch abomination, until they manage to break through. The Other Side of Doomsday: Linda Danvers, Iris West and Jean Loring are abducted into another dimension by T.O. Morrow to lure Flash and Atom into a trap. "The Phantom Superboy": After learning about the existence of the Phantom Zone, Clark Kent becomes trapped in that parallel dimension when a lizard accidentally pokes the Projector switch on right when Clark is standing in front of the device. |

Birthright deconstructs this premise with the typical teenager from Earth thrown into a fantasy land ruled by the Big Bad whom he must defeat. And to do that, he is put through the grinder, forced to become a Child Soldier and see things first hand what no one else should see. The end result? He pulls a Face–Heel Turn, joins the Big Bad because he offered to return him home in exchange of becoming his enforcer and leaves the fantasy world to rot. | |

Fire Emblem on Forums: Wonderful Blessing: Parodied with the Revivians, humans taken from Earth by the Goddess Dragons. So many of them have arrived in Generia and been trapped that they have their own nation, Kaisei, with its own, weird culture. Their national stereotype is acting as if they are the isekai protagonist of their own story....while so many others of their kind exist that they're no longer considered even special. |

Most of the Tsukiuta stage plays feature original stories where the idol characters are trapped in another world. The worlds will have a different theme each time, and different fantasy costumes. So far, there have been multiple ''wa-fuu'' worlds, an Alice-in-Wonderland-inspired Rabbits Kingdom, and an upcoming Cyper Punk world. | |

Magic: The Gathering: This is part of the process of planeswalker sparks igniting. If a person with a dormant spark faces certain death, experiences a strong emotion (such as betrayal, rage, or elation), or encounters a major revelation, there's a chance that their spark will ignite and allow them to awaken to their abiity to transverse planes, which comes with flinging them to another, random plane. Unlike most examples of this trope, they can easily return home once they figure out what happened, but often they'll become curious as to what other planes lie out there... | |

The original module of Ravenloft for Dungeons & Dragons has characters pulled from other D&D settings to face The Devil Strahd. This has since become such a traditional setup for adventures in that setting that it took thirteen years for them to write up information as to creating characters who were native to the setting. | |

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness features this twice. The first time was when Doctor Strange and America Chavez accidentally stumbled into Earth-838, a Techno Dystopia, where they are drugged and arrested by the Illuminati, with Strange standing trial for his 838 counterpart's crimes against the multiverse. Strange, America and 838 scientist Christine Palmer manage to escape after the Scarlet Witch broke in and massacred the Illuminati, but she ends up abducting America and sending Strange and Palmer to a destroyed and ruined universe, where Strange is forced to Dreamwalk in order to escape. | |

TRON: In an attempt to recover evidence that proves Corrupt Corporate Executive / Cracker Ed Dillinger stole his promotion-worthy ideas for video games, Playful Hacker Kevin Flynn ends up physically digitized into Cyberspace by the Deus Est Machina Master Control Program. This has become the franchise staple, as no protagonist gets digitized voluntarily. In Tron 2.0 Jet Bradley gets digitized by Benevolent A.I. Ma3a in a desperate act of self-preservation. Later, The F-Con thugs forcibly shoot Alan in there, too. The rival company exploit and deconstruct the trope by planning to upload an army of mercenaries into that world to steal and control everything from weapons systems and state secrets to the global finance markets and media. In TRON: Legacy Sam learns the hard way that you shouldn't press "yes" at every pop-up dialog on somebody else's system. He looks at the last command given to the computer before him (i.e. Flynn's last command) and then tells the computer to run it again. Then again, he apparently did inherit his old man's copious forethought... |

If the regulator is turned off, the wearer will shrink down to a quantum level, forever trapped in the Acid-Trip Dimension between molecules. How does Hank know this? It's how his wife, a fellow size-changing hero, disappeared, and the sequel revolves around Scott working with the Pym family to bring her back. | |

GURPS: A short supplement, GURPS Fantasy: Portal Realms, covers this topic in detail. An even shorter supplement, GURPS Steampunk Setting: The Broken Clockwork World, describes a specific portal fantasy setting. This is also how the world of GURPS Banestorm came to be, with medieval and Renaissance humans (along with races from many other worlds) dragged into the fantasy world of Yrth. It's specifically mentioned that the Banestorm is still active and can grab player characters from modern Earth in order to kick off a fantasy campaign. |
