Skyscraper

Wealthy Chinese financier Zhao Long Ji makes a monumental investment in constructing *The Pearl*, the world's tallest skyscraper. Standing at an astounding 3,500 feet, this project symbolizes ambition and architectural innovation, although it faces numerous challenges.

Former Marine and ex-FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader Will Sawyer transitions to a new career, assessing the security of skyscrapers. Despite losing a leg in active duty, he exhibits resilience and courage, showcasing a state-of-the-art prosthetic limb.

Sawyer is assigned to inspect *The Pearl* and moves in with his family, including his wife Sarah and their twin children, Georgia and Henry. This assessment provides an opportunity to evaluate security measures, crucial for ensuring public safety.

During a security meeting, Sawyer emphasizes the importance of the off-site security center overseeing the skyscraper's system. Zhao hands him a tablet with full administrative access, highlighting the building's reliance on advanced facial recognition technology.

Focused on obtaining the tablet, a thief targeting Sawyer tries to steal it, while Sawyer's friend Ben, driven by envy, betrays him. In a violent confrontation, Ben is fatally wounded, warning Sawyer that he is marked for death.

The situation escalates when Xia, a traitor working for terrorist Kores Botha, steals the tablet and infiltrates the security center. She brutally eliminates personnel, compromising the skyscraper's security protocols.

Botha's henchmen ignite a fire on the 96th floor, triggering advanced fire and security systems. This malicious act spirals the situation into chaos, as essential firefighting resources above the 95th floor are rendered inoperable.

Local police, led by Inspector Wu, mistakenly target Sawyer as a suspect amid the unfolding disaster. Sawyer finds himself racing against time to rescue his family trapped in the inferno, pursued by the authorities.

Displaying remarkable ingenuity, Sawyer escapes police pursuit by leaping from a crane to the side of *The Pearl*. His focus remains on reaching his family, emphasizing his desperation amidst the ensuing chaos.

Efforts by Zhao and Okeke to rescue Sawyer's family are thwarted by explosive traps set by Botha's men. The betrayal deepens as the insurance executive, Mr. Pierce, is revealed to be collaborating with the terrorists.

Amidst the raging inferno, Sawyer maneuvers through chaos and challenges to rescue his wife Sarah and son Henry. Their dangerous escape involves a daring free-fall via an elevator, showcasing their bravery against the odds.

As the situation escalates, Sarah assists the police by unveiling vital intel about Botha, asserting his role as the mastermind behind the fire. This information becomes critical in coordinating a counter-response to the terrorist threat.

In a chilling power play, Botha takes Sawyer's daughter Georgia hostage, forcing Sawyer to disable crucial security features in the penthouse. This manipulation highlights Botha's ruthless strategy to control the situation.

In a tension-filled confrontation, Sawyer, alongside Zhao and brave police officers, battles Botha's forces to save Georgia. The stakes are high as Sawyer's determination and resourcefulness come to the fore in an epic fight for survival.

In the aftermath of the chaos, Sarah finds a way to reboot the building's security systems, successfully suppressing the raging fire. The family reunites and departs together, while Zhao vows to rebuild, embodying the resilience demonstrated throughout the ordeal.
