* In ''Film/SpaceCamp'', a shuttle full of teenagers accidentally gets launched during an engine test without enough oxygen for an actual mission. They are able to make it to some oxygen storage, but while two are outside retrieving oxygen tanks for replenishment, [[HellIsThatNoise a double-klaxon goes off as they run out of oxygen reserves]].
-->'''Kevin:''' Welp, that's it, campers. All we have left is the air in the cabin.

* During the Apollo 13 disaster, one of the oxygen tanks in the spacecraft's service module exploded and a large fraction of the oxygen supply was lost to space. The crew was left without enough oxygen to simultaneously run the oxygen-hydrogen fuel cells that powered the command module and keep everyone breathing until they could return to Earth. They were able to survive by mostly powering down the command module until right before reentry and using the lunar module instead - which required rapid improvisation to adapt the carbon dioxide scrubbers from one for the other.

* ''Literature/SonicTheHedgehogAdventureGamebooks'': At one point in ''Metal City Mayhem'', Sonic can find Sally Acorn trapped in a glass box with limited air and a robot guarding her. Being a {{Gamebook}}, Sonic can choose to either smash the glass box and free Sally, saving her, or destroy the robot, which makes Sally suffocate to death.

* ''Film/Life2017''. The I.S.S. gets damaged in the fight with the creature, causing life support to shut down. This gives the two remaining survivors the idea of luring the creature into a trap using oxygen candles.

* In ''Manga/DrStone'', the first of the ISS astronauts to attempt to return to Earth end up missing their intended destination by a country mile and land in the ocean, with their shuttle upside-down so they can't get out, and a limited supply of oxygen. Since everyone on Earth has been TakenForGranite, Byakuya has to land on a nearby island and use a rowboat to rescue them.
