- Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. It was first authorized in 1928, constructed between 1931 and 1936, and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

- After repelling an attack on Auric Goldfinger's Midas casino in Las Vegas, his golden-eyed enforcer is sent to the Hoover Dam to exact revenge on Dr. Julius No's forces.

GoldenEye's task is to detonate the bomb, with the help of Pussy Galore and Oddjob, drowning Dr. No's militia. Starting at the base of the dam, GoldenEye scales the structure and makes his way inside. He reaches the seismic bomb, which is suspended over a deep pit and triggers the release. The bomb detonates and the enforcer is almost immediately betrayed and attacked by Oddjob, whom he tosses over a
- Inside the dam is a hydroelectric power plant that is powered by waves turning a giant turbine at the foot of the structure. It is claimed that the power plant inside the dam generates enough electricity to power the whole South-West of United States as most people there haven't discovered electricity yet and so there is little demand for it.
