* ''ComicBook/DeepGravity'': The damaged freighter ''Vanguard'' isn't designed for atmospheric entry, so either its descent has to be halted or the survivors have to get off it. They eventually make it aboard Werner's shuttle, but the shuttle is knocked off its intended angle of descent to the planet, and are therefore at risk of burning up in the atmosphere. They make it through, but control of the shuttle is sufficiently impaired that they crash-land anyway.
* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': During ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'', ComicBook/{{Steel}} experiences this when the Eradicator launches the both of them into space and Steel is forced to release him. He attempts to use his jet boots to slow himself down enough while still having the fuel to fly to safety, however, the Eradicator swings back around and tackles him, sending them both crashing into Coast City.

** ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' plays with the trope. Noble Six has to make an unplanned re-entry by jumping off an orbiting supercarrier with nothing but the re-entry kit on their back. While the descent itself goes well enough, it highlights another reality of improvised atmospheric entries: Nobel Six lands clear in the middle of nowhere and it takes ''hours'' for them to stagger back to a city during a time-critical situation.
