All the 2018 Super Bowl movie trailers, ranked

Skyscraper

This was the biggest hit at our Super Bowl party, and it’s easy to see why from the 30-second teaser: it’s got the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in it, and it’s got a stupidly crazy stunt in it, in which Johnson tries to jump from the end of a crane to a building some forty feet away while taking fire from police helicopters. If that doesn’t sell you on this being the kind of blockbuster nonsense that we are absolutely going to show up for this summer, then perhaps the following scene will, in which Johnson’s artificial leg betrays him after the jump. The full trailer, which released right after the spot aired, clarifies some of the details about the plot: Johnson’s a security expert whose family is held hostage by terrorists/thieves in the world’s tallest building as it burns down, and it’s up to Johnson to save his family and the building from death and destruction, respectively. It’s The Towering Inferno by way of Die Hard, directed by the dude who made Dodgeball and starring the world’s most charismatic action star. We are here for it.
