Since King Kong climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in 1933, the movies have often relied on skyscrapers as a tense setting for action thrills. And the buildings, along with studio ambitions, keep getting higher. This summer, Dwayne Johnson will find himself atop the world’s tallest in the appropriately titled “Skyscraper,” and it’s not even his first go-round with a movie tower this year. Here, from the highest high-rise to the (relatively) lowest, is a look at how Hollywood has scaled action heights.

240th Floor

Skyscraper (2018)

Building: The (fictional) Pearl, Hong Kong

Height: 3,500 feet (without antenna)

Stunt: Leave it to one of the world’s biggest action stars to take on one of the world’s biggest buildings. Playing a disabled war veteran who now assesses security for skyscrapers, Dwayne Johnson springs to the rescue when the Pearl comes under attack. In the trailer for the movie, which opens July 13, the star performs a number of death-defying feats, but there’s one particularly eye-popping moment: when he hangs by his prosthetic foot from a rope on the side of the building.
