Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Dwayne Johnson stars as Will Sawyer, a war veteran and former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader who now works as a “glorified security guard.” OK, so technically he assesses the security of skyscrapers, and his latest gig has him staying in China at the site of the tallest, most advanced building in the world (dubbed “The Pearl”). Will brings his family along to stay in the building with him during the assignment… which sort of becomes an issue when the skyscraper starts to go up in flames, trapping his wife and kids inside. Framed for the blaze, Will finds himself on the run with a family to rescue and perpetrators to track down. Skyscraper is a heart-pounding action-thriller written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. The film also features Neve Campbell, Chin Han, Noah Taylor, Roland Møller, Byron Mann, and Pablo Schreiber.

It's becoming increasingly clear that the Rock's movie philosophy is "what if those movies you liked in the 80s and 90s but boring"
Patrick WillemsJul 9, 2018Neulich im Hauptquartier der SevenBucks Production. Der selbsternannte "hardest working man in show business" betritt den Raum, am Tisch sitzt bereits seine Armada von in jahrelanger Vetternwirtschaft zusammengekarrten Produzenten und Regisseuren. Produzent A: "Hey D,…
BeHaindJul 10, 2018Exactly as stupid as you'd expect but not nearly as elaborately absurd as you'd hope. Hits all the beats in the most perfunctory way possible. Adequate.

SKY HARD
adamboltOct 5, 2026This had promise but had weak villains and the heist plot was convoluted. The House of mirrors worked great in the Lady from Shanghai (1947) by Orson Welles BUT This director IS NOT Orson Welles! The climax kind of sucked because the visuals of the important final scene…

This movie deserved a much higher rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Action from beginning to end. It has Dwayne Johnson AND Neve Campbell.. what more could you want in an action thriller?!
Alex Voigt is "meh" onSkyscraperAction was good but nothing more too interesting
Andrew Gooder likedSkyscraperI saw this in theaters with my friend when it came out and I will admit that it impressed me more than I expected it to. The visuals were well done and the heights truly gave me goosebumps and the action was fun to watch. I’d say it was a pretty good movie. 8.6/10 for me
- Matt likedSkyscraper
I thought Skyscraper was underrated actually. The Rock is always likeable and it’s Die Hard in a skyscraper but it’s really entertaining. It’s got incredible action scenes, it’s funny in parts and really fast paced. Really good entertainment
shxdowz is "meh" onSkyscrapera little predictable and kinda corny, they should have just left the boy to die he was slowing them down
lauraaa likedSkyscraperdwayne johnson really plays basically the same character in every single movie bro 😭🙏
- zxki is "meh" onSkyscraper
I miss when The Rock did outrageous action movies like this. If only he stayed in his lane. It's big, bold, loud, and family-oriented, just like Dwanye himself. It takes inspiration and ideas from other material, drains it and throws it ten times harder. Just like 'Rampage' which came out the same…
Mirror Palais lovedSkyscraperit's one of the more creative ideas for a movie I've seen a d they took f7ol advantage of what they could achieve the acting was ok but they made the whole thing feel so realistic IT IS EXTREMELY REAL I am so impressed on how they manage to do it I really think they could have done the last…
Max likedSkyscraperEine gute Idee für einen Actionfilm mit Dwayne, nicht das Gleiche wie sonst. Gute Umsetzung, die Action war top und genau das, was ich mir in einem Film erhoffe, in dem Dwayne 100x sterben müsste. Die Animationen waren auch sehr gut. 4,3/5⭐️ (Prime Video) zusammen geschaut

- JRJeaniel Rodriguez
The movie was action packed from beginning to end. I can see some Die hard and mission impossible but it was good overall and The Rock makes it look effortless.
JVJeanette VigoritoGreat action packed movie. Loved that the action started early and kept going.

The building may be taller than The Towering Inferno and the stakes may be higher than those faced by John McClane in Die Hard, but in comparison to both, Skyscraper is little more than a cinematic bungalow.

But for a guy with all these comedy credits, Thurber (and his by-the-numbers star) fail to give the spark of sarcastic life to this version of John “Die Hard” McClain. The script gives Will one half-funny aside, and a single funny line.
