Movies filmed in Zurich

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Zurich as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Zurich

2 productions shot at 7 places inside Zurich, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Zurich itself.

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
