History Main / VulnerableConvoy

** In ''[[GrandTheftAutoIII III]]'', the main target in the convoy is an ambulance. And of course, in the very beginning, the prisoner convoy that carries the main character is attacked by drug cartels.
** In ''[[GrandTheftAutoViceCity Vice City]]'', the player has to steal the tank from a miltary convoy.
** In ''[[GrandTheftAutoIV IV]]'', Niko has to attack a prisoner convoy. In a twist, though, your actual intention is to kill the prisoner and dump the body after losing the police.

* In ''{{Silent Hill Downpour}}'', the prison bus transporting protagonist Murphy Pendleton and other inmates from Ryall State Penitentiary to Wayside Maximum Security Prison takes a tumble [I]and rolls off the road[/I] into woodland. Murphy wakes up and escapes the wreckage on foot, eventually arriving in Silent Hill.

* You have to stop a prisoner transport convoy in ''StarWarsRogueSquadron''.

* The teen heroes of YoungJustice were charged with guarding trucks containing the pieces of the disassembled Amazo android, a convoy that included decoys. Sure enough, the trucks carrying the deadly machine parts are attacked...by [[FunWithAcronyms MONQUI]]S!

[[/folder]]

* Happens rather often in ''JustCause'' 2.

* ''TheFugitive''. While being transported to jail, a fight breaks out on the prisoner bus which ends up killing the driver and causing the bus to topple onto train tracks, effectively forcing the protagonist to escape.

* Several ''DoctorWho'' stories have attacks on UNIT convoys, usually transporting dangerous technology, including "The Ambassadors of Death" (space capsule containing alien visitors), "The Mind of Evil" (decommissioned nuclear missile), and "The Time Monster" (reinforcements). In "Battlefield", for a change, the convoy (transporting another decommissioned nuclear missile) just gets bogged down due to bad weather -- and ''then'' the villains discover it and attack.

* Likewise at sea, especially during WorldWarII. After several years of the military refusing to do EscortMissions, it finally became clear that it was necessary. As such, there were entire classes of ships that were designed to be "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escort_aircraft_carrier escorts]]". These tended to be built on the ZergRush principle: small and cheap individually, but meant to match U-boat "wolfpack" submarines one on one or surround and delay dreadnoughts until the convoy could get out of range.

* The Collective Commander's convoy in ''Warzone2100''.

*In ''FarCry'' 2, the weapons dealers ask the player to destroy convoys driven by their business rivals so that news weapons are unlocked. Strangely, the convoys never actually go anywhere, as they are always endlessly driving around in a circle.

*''{{TheDarkKnight}}'', where it's done to lure out the Joker. [[spoiler: It works, but the vehicle carrying Dent is the only one that survives.]]

**Licence To Kill is actually a subversion. [[spoiler: The convoy isn't attacked. The truck carrying the prisoner drives off a bridge and he's released underwater.]]

* MrAndMrsSmith - The first cracks in the titular title's relationships happen when they [[spoiler: both try to take out the same target, someone being transported via convoy]], except it turns out [[spoiler: it's actually a ContractOnTheHitman]].
* Film/IronMan - Tony Stark's convoy is attacked by terrorists while it's on its way back from a test fire demonstration.
