The bank panic of 1933 is the setting of [[Archibald MacLeish]]'s 1935 play, ''[[Panic (1935 play)|Panic]]''. Motion picture depictions of bank runs include those in ''[[American Madness]]'' (1932), ''[[It's a Wonderful Life]]'' (1946, set in 1932), ''[[Silver River (film)|Silver River]]'' (1948), ''[[Mary Poppins (film)|Mary Poppins]]'' (1964, set in 1910 London), ''[[Rollover (film)|Rollover]]'' (1981), ''[[Noble House (miniseries)|Noble House]]'' (1988) and ''[[The Pope Must Die]]'' (1991).

[[Arthur Hailey]]'s novel ''[[The Moneychangers]]'' includes a potentially fatal run on a fictional American bank.

A run on a bank is one of the many causes of the characters' suffering in Upton Sinclair's ''[[The Jungle]]''.

In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[The PTA Disbands]]", Bart Simpson starts a whisper campaign at the Bank of Springfield as a prank to instigate a bank run. The episode spoofs ''It's a Wonderful Life''.
