Dwayne Johnson stands on the arm of a huge crane, hundreds of feet above a busy city street. In front of him, a skyscraper is on fire. He needs to get inside that burning building. His family is in there, held captive by armed villains.
Behind him, a group of men race to stop him. There is only one thing to do.
Jump!
Bullets ping everywhere around him as Dwayne sprints toward the end of the crane. When he reaches it, he leaps, arms windmilling, legs churning in midair. He plummets toward his goal, an open window in the side of the building.
His powerful, muscular body smashes into the glass wall as his mighty hands grip the window ledge. Can he hold on?
He can! Dwayne climbs over broken glass to reach the inside of the building!
The director yells, “Cut!”
