It’s The Rock versus a towering inferno in this blisteringly fun action thriller
DIRECTOR Rawson Marshall Thurber
starring Dwayne Johnson,
Pablo Schreiber, Neve Campbell
There’s no escaping
Dwayne ‘The Rock’
Johnson at the
moment – but then, why
would you want to? The guy
is a bone fide legend and we
hope he continues with his
current quick-fire approach
to movie-making, because
we’re absolutely loving it.
Hot on the heels of last
December’s phenomenally
successful Jumanji: Welcome
to the Jungle (still going strong
at the global box office with
$960 million) and April’s epic
monster mash-up Rampage,
comes this gripping, high-
stakes actioner. And when
we say high, we mean high!

Reteaming the larger-
than-life star with director
Rawson Marshall Thurber
(the pair worked together
on 2016’s brilliant buddy
comedy Central Intelligence),
Skyscraper sees Johnson
playing Will Sawyer, a former
FBI hostage rescue team
leader turned “glorified
security guard”, who’s brought
in to assess the safety of the
world’s tallest building in
China. He takes his wife (Neve
Campbell) and two kids along
to enjoy the view, but then
the 242-storey ‘Pearl’ catches
fire and he’s framed for it.
Can Will clear his name, find
the real baddies and save his
trapped loved ones (who are
above the fire line)? You know
what to do to find out...
