[edit] Films

Although not set in the city's limits, the John Hughes films Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Weird Science take place in the fictional town of Shermer, IL, which is loosely based on Northbrook, IL. In The Matrix, the subway sets were based on the CTA. One of the trains is clearly a Brown Line train, which in reality never goes underground.

[edit] TV shows

Many considered Hill Street Blues, which never made explicit what city it was in, to be set in Chicago. Criminal Minds had their 6th episode L.D.S.K feature a killer in Des Plaines in Franklin Park.

Although not set in the city's limits, Roseanne (TV series) takes place in the fictional town of Lanford, IL.

Chicago was also the site of a nuclear detonation in the post-apocalyptic drama Jericho, as well as subsequent food riots in nearby refugee camps.

[edit] Video games
