===Film===
Plano has been the home of at least two films, the most recent being the [[Superman]] film, [[Man of Steel (film)|''Man of Steel'']], where downtown Plano was a stand-in for Superman's hometown of [[Smallville, Kansas]].  The other film was ''Witless Protection'', a film starring Jennie McCarthy and [[Larry the Cable Guy]], which used the area around Plano as the site of Larry's character's hometown, and the Plano Train Station stood in for the Town Hall and Jail.

Plano was also the filming location for the music video for "[[Nowadays (song)|Nowadays]]" by Lil Skies and Landon Cube.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/_colebennett_/status/969403370149736448?lang=en|title=do any plano high school kids wanna skip school tmrw to be in a lil skies video I Need like 15-20 kids|first=Cole|last=Bennett|date=March 1, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt7765472/|title=Lil Skies Feat.
