故事情节就跟着这栋纽约摩天大楼的兴建而进行着。由于钢铁大梁的使用,以及安全电梯的发明,摩天大楼只是在美国各地大都市里发展的开始。20世纪初建筑技术的一项纪录,就是「摩天大楼」需要许多砖石匠工作,工人把钢铁大梁运到定位,一群人用起重机缓缓放下这些大梁等等。而这些工作都是在头盔与其他现代安全措施都还没出现之前就在进行的。你能想像在那种高度工作的情形吗?
 
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?
