Museum Rooftop
Hok’s Museum Roof
Weathered rooftop surface behind Hok’s Museum stretches under daylight as Indy sprints across it, boots pounding gravel or tile toward the edge. The drop overlooks a narrow alley where a Ford sedan rolls slowly below. Indy launches from this high departure platform, crashing legs-first through the car's roof in a screech of torn metal. Height sharpens the desperation; wind whips his coat as pursuit demands split-second athleticism amid urban clutter.

Launch platform for the escape maneuver, converting rooftop pursuit into vehicular intrusion.
Symbolic Significance
A literal precipice signaling the stakes of Indy’s choices — leap or be trapped.
