故事情節就跟著這棟紐約摩天大樓的興建而進行著。由於鋼鐵大樑的使用,以及安全電梯的發明,摩天大樓只是在美國各地大都市裡發展的開始。20世紀初建築技術的一項紀錄,就是「摩天大樓」需要許多磚石匠工作,工人把鋼鐵大樑運到定位,一群人用起重機緩緩放下這些大樑等等。而這些工作都是在頭盔與其他現代安全措施都還沒出現之前就在進行的。你能想像在那種高度工作的情形嗎?
 
The storyline weaves in and around the actual construction of a New York skyscraper. With the use of steel girders and the invention of the safety elevator, skyscrapers were just starting to be built in big cities around the U.S. A fascinating record of early-20th century building techniques, "Skyscrapers" captures brick masons in action, workers maneuvering a steel girder into place, and a group of men descending a line suspended by a crane. And this was before they had hard hats and many modern safety features! Can you imagine working at those heights?
