* ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'' featured this pretty straight-up. Neo and Trinity are in the elevator along with Link and the Kid; as soon as the latter two leave, the make-out session begins.

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' has a filmed piece in which five people get stuck in an elevator, with two of them (Creator/BowenYang and episode host Creator/AyoEdebiri) insisting upon hooking up to cope with their claustrophobia, spiraling into a plan to repopulate inside the elevator. The rest of the group gets so caught up in planning their roles in this new society, they ignore the firefighters have already arrived. [[spoiler:It ends with everyone moving to this new society, dubbed "Elevator Town," where the only law is, "You gotta love hookin' up!"]]

* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''. In the Mayfair fratello series, Chief Draghi prefers to [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman avoid making eye contact with the cyborgs]], so Vee pranks him by standing behind him [[SexDressed in a state of undress]] as the elevator door opens on a couple of female Section Two personnel. They're aware it's NotWhatItLooksLike, but conclude that Draghi won't be making allegations of cyborg/handler impropriety for a while.

* The fifth season premiere of ''Series/{{Castle}}'' closes with Castle and Beckett entering the precinct elevator. Just as the doors close, Castle gasps and glares at Beckett, who just smirks. Although we don't see her hands move, it is clear that she goosed him in the elevator.

What better thing for two characters bounding with UnresolvedSexualTension to do when they get in an elevator together? Make out until [[SomethingElseAlsoRises the doors open]], of course -- which could be a while [[LockedInARoom if the elevator gets stuck]]...

Sometimes preceded by an UncomfortableElevatorMoment. If it goes further, it could cross over with MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces. Compare BornInAnElevator.

Do not try this at home (or more likely, at work). The typical elevator takes ten seconds or less to go between individual floors, so even in very tall buildings, unless the elevator is explicitly stopped (which will cause everyone waiting for the elevator to wonder what's going on), there likely won't be time to do anything before the elevator stops, either at your floor, or to pick up someone else, making it highly likely that you will either not have the opportunity to actually do anything naughty, or you'll have just enough time to get into a compromising situation without having enough time to finish up and get out of it, resulting in getting caught and possibly being accused of public indecency.

* The "Turbolift Tales" subgenre of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fanfiction. And there's at least one scene in a ''Trek'' porn parody movie based on this trope.

* ''Film/{{Star Trek|2009}}'': Seeing Spock is NotSoStoic after the destruction of Vulcan, Uhura runs after Spock when he enters the turbolift, stopping it mid-decks and kissing him.
** Naturally the Sex Trek porn parodies got into the act. Turns out those handles that Captain Kirk would turn to make the turbolift go make good handholds when you're bonking a Bridge Bunny.
