** ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'': Inverted. The Imperial Fleet ''loses'' the element of surprise when Admiral Ozzel has the fleet jump out of hyperspace too close to the Rebel base on Hoth, causing them to be detected immediately rather than being able to sneak up on the Rebels. Lord Vader is [[YouHaveFailedMe not very happy]] with Ozzel and Captain Piett [[YouAreInCommandNow finds himself an Admiral]] before Ozzel's body even [[PsychicStrangle hits the floor]].

** An inversion of this happens in ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'', The ''Tempest'' is forced out of FTL when something ends up being in its path. The ship comes face to face with a Kett fleet with [[NegativeSpaceWedgie The Scourge]] behind them. Only some skilled piloting though The Scourge gets them out of the ambush.

* The Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse had "interdiction fields," artificial gravity wells which would prevent anything inside from jumping into hyperspace, or would ''forcibly pull'' ships that crossed their path ''out of'' hyperspace. These fields could be generated by specialized ships of sufficient size, and were used for a variety of tactics, usually preventing a HyperspeedEscape.
