Security Scenes-
Security Issues-
What are the protective lightings used? In the movie,
they have used the stationary luminary, emergency lights
and standby lighting.
What are the Active and Passive Security measure
present in the movie? The whole movie is about a BAS
hack. Given a tablet set up to recognize only his face as the
log-in credential, Dwayne Johnson (Mr. Sawyer) dutifully
does his job, declaring the building the safest in the world
– partly due to its high-tech fire sprinkler and suppression
system. On the way to this facility, a terrorist group hell-
bent on extorting the billionaire owner steals The Rock’s
tablet, and a computer geek hacks into the BAS and takes
control of all the building systems. The terrorist group then
sets fire to The Pearl’s 96th floor. Other than the futuristic
BAS and fire system, features of the building that facility
tech nerds might be interested include two giant wind
turbines integrated into the building that provide all the
building’s energy and a several-story park inside the
 building with waterfalls and trees and the whole nine
yards.
What are the types of security utilized in the movie?
Sawyer runs a security assessment and approves the
building fire and security systems he disapproved the
offsite security center that controls the system.
Were there barriers? What type? Throughout the movie
a number of chemical, biological, ergonomic, physical and
psychological hazards where found. The lack of offsite
security made it easier for criminals to break into the
skyscraper and start a fire, there were absolutely no
emergency exits and all security systems were controlled
through a handheld device which was stolen from Sawyer,
that also gives the criminals full access to all the computer
systems. Trip and fall hazards were prominent throughout
the movie. A lot of ergonomic and physical hazards were
also found as Sawyer was faced with a lot of uncomfortable
positions as he fought to save his family and keep his
daughter alive.
Were there levels of security?
What are the perimeter barriers and additional security
measures used/shown in the movie? The perimeter
barrier used in the movie are Sign and Notices, Elevators,
Gates and Doors, Exhaust Tunnels and Tower.

Creative Aspect: Skyscraper is an innovation, towering nightmare that

proves to be far from safe, and the film swiftly descends
into a stressful but rather predictable story about a guy
risking his life to defend his family from bombs, crafty
suits, and terrorists. The architectural design of the 225-
story skyscraper was influenced by Chinese architecture. It
conceptualized the architectural marvel at the core of the
Hong Kong-set Skyscraper, where local legends for
inspiration are investigated, and it uncovered a Chinese
fable with which the creators could work. The movie's
creators constructed an entirely digital setting for the
observation deck's interior and outdoor balcony extensions.
A large number of different panels, ranging from pristine to
ruined, were developed and produced. The visual effect
primarily made through real-time animations using a green
screen with black reflective flooring. The observation deck
battle and the dome intro flashes a real image in the movie.
 Also, the sound effects and explosion was superb and
intelligently done.

Actors: Dwayne Johnson as Will Sawyer prominently drawn a

blazing and ferocious character in the movie. His powerful
eyes arouse interest and the intensity of his body movement
further created an extravagant and earnest appeal to the
movie. Amidst of his physical disability in the movie, the
resilience and bravery has shown predominantly. For the
other characters in the movie, they gave more force and
charisma to the movie. A band of crooks, led by the
terrifying Kores Botha (Roland Moller), has broken in with
highly combustible chemicals in order to take the most
McGuffiny of McGuffins. In that part of the movie, gave us
goosebumps and elevated the excitement of viewers.
Furthermore, Sarah is never a damsel in distress in this
film; instead, she is a combat-trained surgeon capable of
kicking her own butt while caring for her children.
