The Vulcan bomber was featured in the 1965 James Bond movie Thunderball. Agents of SPECTRE hijacked a Vulcan B.1a bomber to use its two NATO nuclear bombs for a ransom plot against the U.S. and Britain. In the novel, the bomber is known as the (fictional) Villiers Vindicator.
Parts from two scrapped Vulcan bombers were used to make the set of the spaceship Nostromo from Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien.[40]
