The use of the stadium during the coup d'état is depicted in the 2002 documentary film "Estadio Nacional", directed and produced by Carmen Luz Parot, and in the 2007 Swedish film "The Black Pimpernel", which is based on the story of Swedish ambassador in Chile Harald Edelstam and his heroic actions to protect the lives of over 1,200 people during and after the military coup. "The Black Pimpernel" was shot on location in Santiago. The 1982 film "Missing" by Greek filmmaker Costa-Gavras depicts the September 11, 1973 coup d'état and execution of American journalists Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi at the Estadio Nacional.
