Leans Right

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

The film's core conflict is apolitical, but its solution champions individual heroism, self-reliance, and the protection of traditional family values, aligning its dominant themes with a right-leaning perspective despite the inclusion of a disabled protagonist.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The film features a visibly diverse cast, including a minority lead in a modern action hero role. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities, instead presenting a straightforward action story with a heroic male protagonist.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Skyscraper does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely focused on the protagonist's mission to save his family from a burning building, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features Sarah Sawyer as a resourceful and brave character who navigates dangerous situations to protect her family. While she engages in defensive actions and uses environmental elements for evasion, she does not directly defeat male opponents in close-quarters physical combat through skill, strength, or martial arts.
