So, I think Hollywood stolen the name, not the other way around!
There is no British Defense Ministry.
But there is a Ministry of Defence.

In Britain, there is a ministry concerned with a certain
activity; that activity is written "defence" in Britain, and it
is written "defense" in the United States. So that is not
grounds for concluding the ministry in question does not exist.
Of course, in earlier times, before countries felt that in
the Cold War struggle of propaganda, they had to make
it clear they had no intent to commit aggression, such a
ministry would simply have been called the Ministry of
War on both sides of the pond.
