Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Because of the Rule of Perception, whenever a character walks into an invisible force field, expect a brief flash of the field and a light-sabery crackle. The trope name is the Stock Phrase that often results, in an odd aversion of Not Using the "Z" Word. Using Some Kind of Force Field allows you to save your CGI budget for more attractive spacecraft. See also Deflector Shields and Force-Field Door. The primary difference is that those tropes refer to the barriers, whereas this trope refers to the scene where someone is required to walk up and experimentally poke it a few times while reciting the required phrase (as above). |

In season 3 of Hero Corp, John gets trapped in a cabin surrounded by a forcefield, normally invisible but looking like a Beehive Barrier when touched. This leads to two such scenes, first when John is testing it, and then when Mique tries walking through the forcefield and smashes his head — thrice in a minute (because he's a moron with the memory of a goldfish). | |

Averted in Xiaolin Showdown. When the heroes are stuck dealing with the villain du jour, a magical mime, he traps most of them in an invisible box (marginally similar to the Third Rock from the Sun example above). There's no indication of its existence, and indeed, they don't realize there's a wall until they run into into it. From then, the only evidence that there is a box is people smacking into it and the outline of the kicked-up dust. Of course, the thing was shaped like however you think it is. The Stock Phrase half of this trope ends up being spoofed, as when Clay finds the others in the box and can't hear them (it's soundproof at the time), Raimundo uses charades to goad him into walking into the barrier and then mocks him for doing the usual routine: | |

Stargate SG-1: Several varieties of force fields appear in the series, with various visual effects revealing their presence. Most of them are indeed invisible unless touched, but the results of a contact are quite variable. In "Upgrades", the Goa'uld force fields inside a ship in construction glow blue and looks somewhat like frost on windows when touched — or when going through at Super Speed thanks to the Atoniek armbands. In "Deadman Switch", Daniel Jackson walks nose-first into a red-glowing force field, put in place by Aris Boch to capture SG-1. Later in the episode, Teal'c is encased in a smaller version of the same field used as a detention device, and "knocks" on it to show the audience it's there. In "Windows of Opportunity", a force field surrounding Malakai and the Ancient control device doesn't just glow when hit: a mere contact propels Teal'c backwards and knocks him out. When the team tests the field again by throwing a stone at it, it shoots back with the speed of a bullet. In "The Other Guys", SG-1 is imprisoned in a force field that glows bright white on contact — as well as giving a serious shock when touched, if O'Neill's reaction is anything to go by. In "The Ties That Bind", the scene is actually a Throw It In!: when Daniel Jackson tries to touch the power coil that is passed off as a religious artifact, he finds out it's protected by a small anti-thief shield which zap his fingers. That wasn't scripted, but the special effect was nonetheless added in post-production. In "The Road Not Taken", Mitchell walks into a lab, where Carter is experimenting on Merlin's device and smacks his head onto an invisible shield. Carter tries to warm him but doesn't manage it in time. She points out that she put up a sign outside the lab, only for Mitchell to take that sign from her desk, indicating she forgot to actually put it up. The shield is invisible, except when Mitchell walks into it or when it engages/disengages. |

Averted in Deep Space Nine: The Dominion force field is lethal, so nobody touched it to make the obligatory shiny spot. It's a strange effect when they don't do it: without that little flash to aid Willing Suspension of Disbelief, it feels like they're just sitting on a platform that they could just step off of. Which, perhaps, they could have: they had only the word of a Dominion spy about its lethality, or that there was even a force field there at all... One wonders why they wouldn't spit at it to confirm the field is really there. | |

Gaithim's barrier around the Crown in The Quest of the Unaligned is invisible until someone touches it, at which point it turns into a wall of lighting. This may be a deliberate design feature, given that it functions more like a booby-trap than a conventional forcefield. | |

In Zardoz, Zed (Sean Connery) simply presses up against the "invisible wall", i.e. a glass panel between him and the camera. No sparks, but the way it smushes his face and palms reveals the barrier's presence. | |

In the Dungeons & Dragons movie, the main party (which includes a mage) encounters a Wall of Force spell. The mage, who should know about these things already, proclaims "It's some kind of wall of force!" | |

In Brother Blood's second appearance on Teen Titans, the force-field around his tidal wave-generator is invisible until Cyborg walks into it. During their fight, Blood pins Cyborg against it, shocking him painfully. | |

Used to dramatic effect in Forbidden Planet, where an invisible monster attempts to break through the force field the crew have set up: they can see the flash caused by something trying to break through, but that's all they can see. | |

The Return of the King (Rankin/Bass Productions version) has one of these generated by the Watchers and exaggerated from the book. ("Bless my soul! It's some kind of invisible barrier!") By using the phial of Galadriel, the field rolls back like doors in response to sparkly magic. Note that in the book, the Watchers merely sapped the will of anyone trying to pass through; the barrier was more psychic than physical. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In episode "Ponyville Confidential", the Cutie Mark Crusaders experience walking snout-first into an invisible force field (all three of them one by one, because of delayed reactions) when Twilight Sparkle doesn't want them getting into the library. | |

Doctor Who: The trope is subverted in "The Five Doctors" when the 2nd Doctor and the Brigadier find the former companions, Jaimie and Zoe, unaccountably in the Death Zone with them and frantically telling them to turn back. They claim that they are trapped by a forcefield and any disruption of it would kill them, so the heroes don't dare try to reach out to them to see the field. However, the Doctor, after trying to find a way to free them, realizes a basic fact, that those kids' memories of their time with him were erased, and simply steps forward where the field is supposedly in place. It turns out there was nothing and those companions vanish as the holographic decoys they really are. In the new series episode "Smith and Jones", the Doctor gets this effect when he throws a rock at the forcefield. The same thing happens in "The Hungry Earth" with the dome forcefield created by the Silurians. In "The Snowmen", the force field created by Jenny glows red whenever the Ice Governess slams into it. |

Lampshade-hung by Patrick in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. The "force field" being a glass fish bowl, but still huge compared to SpongeBob and Patrick. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The series has invisible barriers that prevent vampires from entering residences uninvited. An Angel episode shows Angel leaning against one of them, causing a slight ripple upon impact. The barrier that kept the Master imprisoned in Buffy season one also makes a rippling effect. In season five, Willow casts a spell to imprison Glory by thickening the air around her into tar, causing little ripples as she touches it. |

In Flander's Company episode "Unlimited", the force field protecting Caleb's latest invention is indeed visible only when Hippolyte fires a Hand Blast at it. Nadège says (the French equivalent of) the trope name afterward. | |
