* In ''Film/{{Dune|1984}}'', the entire complex at Arrakeen is protected by a single enormous wall-shaped Shield. Gotta wonder how vulnerable that made the complex to lasgun fire. In the ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'' universe, shields struck with lasguns produces a nuclear explosion (at both the shield end and the lasgun end) and nuclear weapons are forbidden at the cost of having all the Great Houses turn against you and the Spacing Guild revoke your ability to travel. And, of course, shields attract Sandworms, which is why the Fremen don't use them.

* The ball-shaped ship of TheEmperor and its base in ''Film/DunePartTwo'' have a deflector shield as well, though that doesn't protect them from the ground invasion by the Fremen.

* Most film versions of ''Franchise/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' have the alien tripods protected by energy shields, an update to the story that is necessary to protect them from modern weaponry. In [[Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds1898 the original]], the tripods are well-armored, but conventional artillery can still destroy them with concentrated fire, as can naval gunfire.
