In Finnish criminal TV series "Koskinen" (also known as "Lakeside Murders")
4DOS 8.0 and MS-DOS 6.22 are featured (as names, no interface is shown) in
episode 1 of season 1, about minute 40 of an episode. They are presumably used to run complicated control software of city trains.

Speaking of interesting DOS presence in movies, in movie "Hamilton"
from 1998, DOS Edit is used to "hack" into some system (the feat of Peter Stormare).
