The Panama Deception is a 1992 American documentary film that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The subject of the film is the 1989 invasion of Panama.

Argument
The film recounts the events which led to the invasion, the death and destruction caused by the invasion, and the aftermath. The film is critical of the actions of the U.S. military. It also highlights media bias within the United States, showing events that were unreported or systematically misreported, including the downplaying of the number of civilian casualties.
The film states that the U.S. government invaded Panama in order to destroy the PDF, the Panama Defense Forces, which were perceived as a threat to U.S. control over Panama, and install a government which would be friendly to U.S. interests. The film includes footage of mass graves uncovered after the American troops had withdrawn and footage of burned-down neighborhoods, refers to the use of experimental weapons, and presents depictions of some of the 20,000 refugees who fled the fighting.
