Dwayne Johnson & Neve Campbell host a scorching new Skyscraper featurette

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Former pro wrestler turned Hollywood hot shot Dwayne Johnson is poised to defy expectations (as well as gravity) in Legendary's SKYSCRAPER. In the upcoming action thriller, Johnson steps into the shoes of former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and U.S. war veteran Will Sawyer. Now that he's off the battlefield, Sawyer assesses security for skyscrapers. On assignment in China he finds the tallest, safest building in the world suddenly ablaze, and he’s been framed for it.  A wanted man on the run, Will must find those responsible, clear his name and somehow rescue his family who is trapped inside the building…above the fire line.

Turning up the heat alongside Johnson in the pulse-pounding feature is Neve Campbell who plays Sarah Sawyer, an accomplished surgeon as well as the woman who falls in love with the big galoot during his time of need. Together, both stars host this cool behind-the-scenes look at the film written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. In the footage, Johnson and Campbell shed light on their character's motivations, Thurber speaks on creating an action film unlike he's ever seen before, and we're given a bit more insight regarding the film's villain played by Roland Moller (ATOMIC BLONDE, THE COMMUTER).

SKYSCRAPER will make an impossible leap into theaters beginning on July 13th.
