We’ve seen the trailer. We’ve seen the TV spots. We’ve seen the posters and the artwork. We were promised Die Hard meets The Towering Inferno.
Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, Skyscraper has Dwayne Johnson as an overqualified man with skills doing gravity defying things, fighting terrorists, saving the day, and being awesome.
Former FBI agent and amputee Will Sawyer (Dwayne Johnson) is tasked with inspecting the tallest and “safest” skyscraper in Hong Kong with his family (including his wife played by Neve Campbell). The building comes under attack by terrorists who set the building ablaze, forcing Sawyer to take action. Framed for the attack and his family trapped above the fire line – can Dwayne Johnson save the day?
