* ''Film/AirForceOne'' has a tanker sent out to the title aircraft to try and save the people on board from the terrorists (as the plane is running low on fuel). What the terrorists don't know is that [[spoiler:the President has sent the order via fax machine to use the tanker to get both planes down to a safe altitude where the hostages can parachute out]]. Things get hairy when a terrorist inadvertently causes the title plane to lurch up, [[OhCrap damaging the KC-10s refueling boom]], which leads to a fire, which causes the KC-10 to explode.
* In ''Film/Armageddon1998'', not long after the two shuttle ships leave Earth's orbit, they refuel at the semi-abandoned Mir space station, currently manned by one man named Lev, [[GoMadFromTheIsolation who has gone a little space crazy]]. Refueling goes okay until they suspected a leak in the space station; they're too late to prevent it, although they manage to escape in time before the space station explodes.
