Dwayne Johnson as Sawyer in Skyscraper
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A real firefighter analyzes Dwayne Johnson's action scenes from Skyscraper, awarding them a grade for their accuracy. Released in 2018, Skyscraper is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber with Johnson starring as Will Sawyer, a security expert who attempts to rescue his family from a burning high-rise building.
According to Martinez, Johnson's crane jump to Skyscraper's The Pearl building is unsurprisingly not accurate to how firefighters would enter a burning high-rise, and the firefighter uses the elevator scene to share some important fire advice. Check out his comments below, as well as his score for the movie out of 10:
“If you cut off all the safety features on an elevator, they can definitely ride through a fire like that. But there are so many safeguards for elevators. When an actual cable does break, and it’s on its descent, or even when it’s going up, those brakes will automatically lock. As a civilian, you never should use an elevator during a fire. You want to use the stairs and actually descend away from the fire.
Skyscraper fared better with general audiences, however, and boasts a more respectable 68% audience score. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to make the film a box office hit. Skyscraper was a considerable flop at the domestic box office, but decent international numbers eventually got the film to $304.9 million worldwide. With a budget of $125 million plus millions more in press and advertising, the movie was probably looking at a break-even point of roughly $312 million.
