Depends how broadly you define it.

America literally produces movies about "Captain America", a heroic do-gooder who has superhuman strength, speed and endurance and who wears a flag as an outfit. In these movies he saves the entire planet. America spends like a hundred million dollars every year on that alone.

If by "America" you mean private companies rather than government, by private decision rather than at government direction, and paid for by private citizens voluntarily purchasing the results rather than government contract, then sure.
