Tower" from The Tower. Tyrell Corporation Headquarters (Los Angeles) The immense truncated pyramid-shaped structure, flanked by inwardly-slanted towers, dominates the cityscape of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982). The futuristic city has been described as a place where the height of the World Trade Center had become the norm, filled with buildings hundreds of stories tall, with Tyrell's pyramid being six or seven times the height of the WTC and at least a hundred times more massive . Main protagonist Deckard himself lives on the 97th floor of a generic building. Nakatomi Plaza (Los Angeles) A 31-floor building taken over by terrorists in the classic action film Die Hard (1988). The building is actually the 34-story Fox Plaza, 20th Century Fox's Los Angeles headquarters. Most of the interior shots (excluding the lobby and roof) were shot on the Fox lot, located nearby. The Japanese name of this and other fictional buildings (such as Nakamoto Tower in 1993's Rising Sun) provides an interesting window on the 1980s mindset that Japanese corporations would take over the world's economy and real estate, especially after the real-life acquisition of Rockefeller Center by a Mitsubishi subsidiary (completed in 1989). In fact, there have been relatively few such takeovers, and few if any U.S. skyscrapers were ever actually named after Japanese corporations. Art Land's Galaxy Hotel (Las Vegas) A fictional futuristic hotel/casino in Las Vegas, Nevada from the 1996 film Mars Attacks! The hotel was destroyed by a UFO during a martian invasion. In reality the building was the Landmark Hotel and Casino which was imploded in 1995. Galactic Senate Building 500 Republica (Coruscant) One of the innumerable towers covering the fictional city-planet of Coruscant from the Star Wars universe, first seen on film in the Special Edition of Return of the Jedi (1997), then in the Star Wars prequels. On Coruscant, buildings are used as the foundations for new buildings that actually pierce the cloud layer. The fifty lower levels form a dangerous underworld where ordinary citizens never go. The city-planet was inspired by Trantor in Isaac Asimov's Foundation saga. Scolex Industries The corporate headquarters of the main villain Sanford Scolex (Doctor Claw) in the 1999 film Inspector Gadget. In reality, the building is the PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. MNU Building (Johannesburg) A building used in the 2009 film District 9. Fiddler's Green In Land of the Dead, is by far the most notable landmark
