Angel Falls in Venezuela, the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, has served as the stunning backdrop for several major films, most notably the 2015 remake of Point Break. In that film, the climax features characters free-solo climbing the massive face beside the falls before jumping off. However, its most famous "appearance" is actually as an inspiration rather than a direct filming location. In Pixar's 2009 animated masterpiece Up, the legendary "Paradise Falls" where Carl Fredricksen wants to move his house is a direct visual homage to Angel Falls. The filmmakers actually traveled to the region (the Gran Sabana) to capture the unique "tepui" (tabletop mountain) landscapes. Additionally, the falls appear in the 1998 film What Dreams May Come, starring Robin Williams, where they represent a beautiful, otherworldly landscape in the afterlife. Because of the falls' remote location in Canaima National Park, which is accessible only by air and then a long boat journey, it remains a rare and prestigious filming location that instantly adds a sense of "untouched primordial wonder" to any cinematic production.
