One of the main plots of Goldfinger involved Goldfinger's plan to irradiate the Fort Knox gold with an atomic device thus rendering the gold valueless. With the U.S. gold supply valueless Goldfinger's gold would be increased in value. The exterior of the depository was shown in the movie, the interior scenes were in a studio.
