It will be up to Sawyer to stop the bad guys, but making matters more complicated is that he's been framed for the attack.

Much like how the Titanic was declared unsinkable, Sawyer's bosses say that The Pearl is impenetrable, which of course means that it's soon targeted by terrorists. It's so tall that some of its floors effectively function as their own society, but with such as impressive feat of construction comes a number of security risks. Set in Hong Kong, Skyscraper follows former FBI agent Will Sawyer serving as the head of security of The Pearl, the tallest and 'safest' skyscraper in the world. This Skyscraper jump is actually relatively tame when you think about it. Yes, this whole scenario is outrageous, but then again, The Rock has built a film career on such ridiculousness, from moving a torpedo sliding across ice during The Fate of the Furious to fighting giant, genetically-enhanced animals in Chicago during Rampage. Granted, it's not like he made it to the other side on both feet, but all you need is one hand to pull yourself up. But Johnson, no matter who he's playing on the big or small screens, is more than just a regular man. If this were real life, any person attempting such a feat would die, and even within the fictional Skyscraper-verse, any regular person would also perish. There you have it, folks! Dwayne Johnson does indeed successfully make that impressive jump in Skyscraper, the laws of physics be damned.
