First 'Skyscraper' spot looks like Dwayne Johnson's 'Die Hard'
Watch Next

When we say Dwayne Johnson's 2018 slate looks huge, we mean that literally.

First, he'll be running around with enormous animals in Rampage, out April 20. And then he'll leaping through giant buildings in Skyscraper, which looks, essentially, like a beefed-up Die Hard.

Johnson stars as a guy who handles security for skyscrapers. When he's framed for setting a particular building on fire, he's forced to go on the run, clear his name, and save his family from the building, all at the same time.

It's a lot for any one guy to handle – but if anyone can handle the heat, it's definitely Johnson. Right?

Skyscraper is in theaters July 13.
