The Rock’s Skyscraper Jump meme originated from the promotional poster for the 2018 action film Skyscraper, featuring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson performing a physics-defying leap from a construction crane toward a shattered window. Internet users quickly pointed out that, based on his trajectory and momentum, he was almost certainly doomed to fall. This observation turned the poster into a viral sensation, used to represent someone attempting an impossible task, making an overambitious plan, or taking a massive 'leap of faith' that is destined for failure. It serves as the perfect visual metaphor for the gap between ambition and reality.
