[[AC: Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/RogueOne'': During the second FighterLaunchingSequence, the rebel pilots are told that they'll be briefed en route to Scarif. It's necessary as the impending attack is spur-of-the-moment and there's no time for a formal briefing.
* '' Film/{{Serenity}}'': At the start of the film, Captain Malcolm Reynolds briefs Zoe and Jayne about the heist they're going to pull off while driving their hovercraft to the heist. (One would think that discussing their plans and the layout of the facility ahead of time would increase their chances of success and help them plan how to deal with unforeseen circumstances, like [[spoiler:an unexpected attack by Reavers]].)

[[AC: Literature]]
* ''Literature/AbleTeam'': The first few novels start with the eponymous team rushing to an aircraft, whereupon they'd be briefed in mid-flight about the latest crisis.
* ''Literature/{{Quiller}}'': {{Subverted}} in several of the novels when the title character would be rushed into The Bureau with a police escort, then be told to just hang around and make himself comfortable as the secret spy organisation didn't have a briefing or access lined up yet. Needless to say, this "hurry-up-and-wait" approach plays havoc with Quiller's nerves.




* In ''Series/Batman1966'', Batman does a lot of his explaining to Robin in the Batmobile while en route.
* In ''Series/CriminalMinds'', while the team are alerted beforehand where the next crime is, they almost always cover the backstory during the plane ride (unless it's local).

* In ''Series/CriminalMinds'', ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'': Beckett and Castle work with an intelligence agent to take down a Chinese spy. Due to the urgent nature of the mission, they strap up their gear outside the target building while briefing each other on the plan and possible escape routes from the building.
* ''Series/{{Chernobyl}}'': Legasov explains how a nuclear reactor works to Shcherbina while they are already on a helicopter to the eponymous disaster site. Shcherbina then arrogantly dismisses Legasov as no longer being necessary, but when the two of them question officials at the site, Shcherbina shows [[HiddenDepths he was in fact paying attention]].

* ''[[VideoGame/{{HAWX}} HAWX 2]]'': on the first Russian level, it seems that General Morgunov is explaining the mission to Denisov's squadron en route. Especially odd considering that they are supposed to ''intercept'' a flight of enemy bombers.
* In ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'', the beginning of the Khe Sanh mission is Woods explaining to Mason how MAC-V-SOG was formed.
