Skyscraper (2018) is an action-thriller film directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber and stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the lead role. The movie is set in a massive, high-tech skyscraper called “The Pearl,” which is the tallest building in the world.

Dwayne Johnson plays Will Sawyer, a former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and war veteran who now works as a security consultant. Will is hired to assess the safety of The Pearl, a 240-story skyscraper in Hong Kong. During his assessment, the building is suddenly set ablaze by a group of terrorists who are after a hidden objective. As the fire spreads, Will is framed for the incident and must prove his innocence while also rescuing his family, who are trapped inside the burning building.

The film is packed with thrilling action sequences, including daring stunts, high-altitude chases, and intense fight scenes as Will battles the terrorists and races against time to save his loved ones.

Skyscraper is a blend of classic disaster and action movie tropes, drawing inspiration from films like Die Hard and The Towering Inferno. It emphasizes themes of heroism, family, and resilience, with Dwayne Johnson delivering his signature charismatic and physically intense performance.

While the film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Johnson’s performance and the spectacle of the action but criticized its predictable plot, Skyscraper was generally enjoyed by fans of high-energy action movies. The movie stands out for its towering setting, adrenaline-pumping sequences, and larger-than-life heroics.
