* ''Film/AdventuresInDinosaurCity'', a group of three kids are transported to the titular city.
* ''Film/AntMan1'': Dr. Hank Pym warns Scott Lang not to mess with the regulator on his suit that grants him his SizeShifter abilities. If the regulator is turned off, the wearer will shrink down to a quantum level, forever trapped in the AcidTripDimension between molecules. How does Hank know this? [[spoiler: It’s how his wife, a fellow size-changing hero, disappeared, and the sequel revolves around Scott working with the Pym family to bring her back.]]
** In TheStinger for the sequel, ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', [[spoiler:Scott finds himself in this predicament. Now equipped with a better understanding of the realm, Scott goes subatomic while the Pyms stay behind as MissionControl. However, seconds before they can bring him back to normal, they are all killed by Thanos, due to [[TheBadGuyWins the events]] of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.]]
* At the end of ''Film/AvengersGrimm'', the heroes are trapped on Earth.
* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'': See Literature section.
* In the sci-fi thriller ''Film/{{Coherence}}'', once characters pass the dark area they are randomly transported into AlternateTimelines with little hope of returning to their homeworld.
* In ''Film/CoolWorld'', both Frank and Jack are transported to the titular world.
* ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'': Characters from an animated film appear in live-action New York City.
* In ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'', the characters are sucked into the Jumanji world once they start the game. Averted with [[Film/{{Jumanji}} the original movie]], however -- that only happened if the player landed on a certain square.
* ''Film/AKidInKingArthursCourt'' is a time-travel variant, based on the book ''A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court''. This time it's a [=90's=] kid being sent to the past.
* ''Film/TheNeverendingStory'': {{Downplayed}} in that Bastian isn't physically trapped there, but reading the book and identifying with Atraeu's adventures builds a PsychicLink of sorts.
* ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'', with the famous twist that [[EarthAllAlong it's actually our world after all, just many centuries in the future]]. Its sequel, ''Film/BeneathThePlanetOfTheEarth'', follows in the same vein, while the third movie, ''Film/EscapeFromThePlanetOfTheApes'', inverts this by taking two of the chimpanzee characters from the scifi world of the previous films and pulling them back in time to the 20th Century.
* Technically ''Film/SpaceJam'', in which UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan gets lassoed down a golf hall into the cartoon world.
* ''Film/{{Tron}}'': In an attempt to recover evidence that proves CorruptCorporateExecutive / [[TheCracker Cracker]] Ed Dillinger stole his promotion-worthy ideas for video games, PlayfulHacker Kevin Flynn ends up [[DigitizedHacker physically]] [[BodyUploading digitized]] into {{Cyberspace}} by the DeusEstMachina Master Control Program.
** This has become the franchise staple, as no protagonist gets digitized voluntarily. In ''[[VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh Tron 2.0]]'' Jet Bradley gets digitized by BenevolentAI [=Ma3a=] in a desperate act of self-preservation. Later, [[spoiler: The F-Con thugs forcibly shoot Alan in there, too]]. The rival company [[{{Exploited}} exploit]] and [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstruct]] the trope by planning to upload an army of mercenaries into that world to steal and control everything from weapons systems and state secrets to the global finance markets and media.
** In ''Film/TronLegacy'' Sam learns the hard way that you shouldn't press "yes" at every pop-up dialog on a somebody else's system. He looks at the last command given to the computer before him (i.e. Flynn's last command) and then [[WhatAnIdiot tells the computer to run it again]]. Then again, he apparently ''did'' [[SarcasmMode inherit his old man's copious forethought]]...
* In the beginning of ''Film/WarriorsOfVirtue'', Ryan is thrown into the world of Tao.
* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': Dorothy from Kansas gets trapped in Oz after being swept away by a tornado. [[spoiler: Subverted as it ends up being AllJustADream, unlike the book. See the Literature section for the book.]]
