How Nolan Filmed the Bus Crash Without Destroying a Historic Building

Atom Search related

For the opening bank heist in The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan couldn't actually drive a bus through a real wall. The crew disassembled an entire bus, carried it inside the historic building, reassembled it behind a false wall, and then fired it through the facade with an air cannon. It's a masterclass in practical filmmaking under constraints — no CGI, just sheer logistical ingenuity.
