So the Big Bad and his minions have stormed the secret laboratory and captured the MacGuffin. But we really need to show the audience what is at stake here without having the villain pass through the Moral Event Horizon. So one of the Mooks will be fumbling around with a vial of the stuff, it will fall to the floor, shatter, and everybody except said Mook will escape in time. The door will seal, and the Mook is left to his horrible fate as the rest of his compatriots look on sympathetically. He has been Trapped in Containment. It needn't be a chemical weapon — it could be as simple as someone trapped behind a door as it fills up with water — although it usually is. Note the odds are 99% that someone will attempt an Indy Hat Roll. Naturally, this trope doesn't count for those who succeed. |

Watchmen: The origin story for Doctor Manhattan involves this. He forgot his watch inside an Intrinsic Field Remover, gets shut inside it, and cheerfully asks his colleagues outside if they can open the door. They can only stammer back that once the door is closed, it stays closed until the experiment is over. | |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Berezniki is quarantined in response to the escalating tectonic phenomena and missing-persons crisis, which only leaves everyone who's consequently trapped inside at the mercy of the Many. By the time Monarch, Mothra and other benevolent Titans arrive on the scene, Berezniki is a complete Ghost City. | |

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008): A government agent sacrifices a scientist who is contaminated with Grey Goo while investigating a caged alien artifact, ignoring his pleas to be let out. The agent is less stoic when the contamination starts eating through the windows and his room is the next to be sealed and sacrificed. | |

A delightfully cruel level in Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. In it there were three gas chambers that seal once you enter the room. Bullets do no damage, and only by using telekinesis can you break the glass and not die of poisoning. The fun part came in with the fact that you would either get stuck with a scientist inside, in which case you could smash him against the glass to break it, or there would be a taunting faceless goon outside you could use to crack it. And if you're fast enough, you can trigger the doors and skip out while remaining outside, leaving the poor science mooks inside to slowly die. | |

The Outer Limits (1995): In the episode "Blood Brothers", a scientist accidentally creates what appears to be a cure-all for anything ailing a person (while working on a safe knockout gas). This trope occurs twice. First, his research assistant punches the door in the lab after injecting himself with some of the compound, causing the containment system to activate in the presence of chemicals in the air. He is incinerated, as his boss refuses to open the door. The second time is caused intentionally by the scientist's brother, who activates the containment system, but the scientist and his girlfriend manage to escape just before they are incinerated. | |

The township of Mountain Glenn in RWBY. The surface city was overrun by monsters due to a dearth of natural defenses against them. In an attempt to stave off death, the survivors entered the maze of deep caves and subway tunnels they had cleared out. But then an explosion freed a caves worth of monsters, and the government sealed the tunnels out of the city, creating the world's largest underground tomb. | |

Star Trek: Elite Force requires you to raise a force field when a crewman says that there's going to be a big explosion. If you do it too early, you trap him behind the force field with the explosions killing him. Note that this is followed by two crewmen telling you to stop an electrical surge, which you must do as soon as possible. | |

In Fallout 3, a radiation containment room containing the master controls at Project Purity provides an opportunity for all kinds of hijinx. First, your pop dies in there after he deliberately floods the room with radiation, trying to get the Enclave unit lead by Colonel Autumn to leave. After that, you return to the room and have to choose whether to Heroically Sacrifice yourself to reset the purifier to a safe level, or let Sentinel Lyons do it instead. You can Take a Third Option and have neither of you do it, resulting in a very big bang. The Broken Steel DLC lets you send in a radiation-immune party member, if you have one with you. You can still go in yourself, but since the entirety of Broken Steel takes place after the main quest of the base game, if you do so with the DLC installed you won't actually die, just collapse and wake up two weeks later in a Brotherhood of Steel infirmary. In the backstory of Fallout: New Vegas: Dead Money, the guests at the Sierra Madre's Gala Event were trapped in the casino when it went into lockdown during the Great War. In the casino basement at the end of the DLC, either the Courier or Elijah can trigger Sinclair's trap and permanently seal themselves in the vault, leading to a Non Standard Game Over in the former case. In Fallout 4, the Cambridge Polymer Labs sidequest locks you in the lab until either you find the correct components and synthesize the Piezonucleic Power Armor, or hack a Master-locked terminal. The lab's pre-war scientists suffered a similar fate when Director Jon Elwood-Wollum ordered a lockdown of the lab while the bombs were falling, and due to Willfred Bergman blocking access to the isotope components, were unable to complete the project and either starved to death or became feral ghouls. |

The Real Ghostbusters had times when either Slimer or Egon had to go into the Containment Unit. The danger presented here was that the parties involved would risk being trapped inside with hundreds of very pissed off horrors for a very long time. There's always a just-in-time rescue, but the writers made sure to milk every last second of tension out of it. (Never mind, of course, even with that last-second rescue, there's always the possibility of something else coming out...) | |

The Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Obsession" has this when the vampiric Alien of the Week enters a cabin and has to be sealed in. Interestingly, it is the trapped person who initiates the containment. Spock, who is in the cabin with an ensign, reacts fast enough to shove the young man out of the cabin, but has to seal himself in with the creature. Fortunately, his Vulcan blood was really not to the creature's taste. | |

In Mission Critical, you find a diary of a traitor onboard the ship, who recounts a memory from his childhood of his parents, scientists specializing in nanotechnology. The parents were working with a prototype nanite colony designed to break down waste. However, the nanites break free, and the parents are stuck in containment as they are eaten alive in front of their children. This is described as the reason for the character's Face–Heel Turn, as he came to realize the evils of technology. | |

Doctor Who: "Planet of the Daleks": A Spiridon slave opens up a deadly toxin the Daleks have been developing, leaving them trapped. Unusual in that the trapped Daleks are actually immune to the virus — but they still can't open the door because they are the only ones who are. "The End of Time": The Nuclear Bolt cabinet has two operation booths, and is designed so that one must be occupied at all times. At the climax, Wilfred Mott goes inside to allow a trapped technician to escape. After the Time Lords are banished back behind the Time Lock, the resulting damage means that the cabinet is going to go critical, with the inside flooded with radiation, if anything inside is touched, but Wilf can't get out unless someone else enters the other booth. The Doctor is not happy about it, but he saves Wilf's life by doing so, causing him to regenerate. "The Pyramid at the End of the World": The Doctor is trapped inside a lab filled with a deadly bacteria capable of wiping out all life on Earth, less than two minutes before it's going to be blown up in order to kill said bacteria. The only way out is through an airlock door that can only be opened by a combination lock — but the Doctor was blinded two episodes before and can't open it. And Nardole, who could pick him up with the TARDIS, is lying unresponsive on the console room floor because he was infected with the deadly bacteria. Ultimately, this is what spurs Bill to accept the Monks' offer — they have the power to restore the Doctor's eyesight so he can escape. |

Done in the pilot miniseries of Battlestar Galactica (2003). Colonel Tigh orders the hatches to the flight deck sealed to contain a fire, as the Galactica is under heavy Cylon attack. Unfortunately, there are 85 crewmen trapped inside. Chief Tyrol nearly has a Heroic BSoD trying to convince Tigh to let him make a rescue attempt, and then watching Tigh activate each hatch lock in turn. Not only did he have to seal them inside to prevent the fire from spreading. He also had to dump the air from that part of the ship into space to extinguish the fires. |

In a season 4 episode of Primeval, Philip Burton has Connor run a scan on the entire ARC for any foreign organisms. He then walks into the creature pen and sees Rex out of his cage. Before he can do anything, the scan detects Rex and locks down the entire facility. Burton is trapped in the pen with the air being sucked out. Luckily, Connor realizes that Burton built his security system on Connor's own software, for which Connor has a backdoor. | |
