James Sanders' 2001 documentary film Silenced: Flight 800 and the Subversion of Justice presents evidence that "Flight 800 was actually destroyed by a surface-to-air missile".
• The film Final Destination was loosely based on the crash of TWA Flight 800. In the film, a class of high school students boards Volée Air Flight 180 for a class field trip from New York JFK Airport to Paris for ten days. The plane explodes right after takeoff. Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) has a premonition of the plane exploding, and saves seven people, including himself from dying in the explosion.
• TWA Flight 800 was a central plot device of Nelson DeMille's book Night Fall, a novel about John Corey's investigation of the flight.
