Maybe this is a stupid example and I'm overthinking it, but rewatching Air Force One and when the hijackers take over the plane, the officer carrying the nuclear football is killed. The President (Harrison Ford) yells "The Football!" since now all of the America's nuclear launch codes were in the hands of terrorists. 5 minutes later, back at the White House, some aide approaches the VP and says "all codes have been changed" and he's cuffed to a briefcase. It is never addressed afterwards.

Obviously, this would probably happen real world, but it seemed like the football was supposed to play a bigger role and then halfway through Wolfgang said fuck it and cut it.

Any other examples?
