Movies filmed at Petronas Towers
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Petronas Towers as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Named here by Petronas Towers’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Petronas Towers, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Entrapment 1999
“The towers are prominently featured and mentioned by name in the 1999 film Entrapment, with numerous scenes filmed at the towers, with the climax set on the skybridge.” Wikipedia
Set here, per Petronas Towers’s own Wikipedia article
Works this page’s own Wikipedia article places here. Nothing was filmed — each of these is drawn or rendered — and as above, no pin and no download entry.

“In the 2002 Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, the Malaysia-based levels Basement Killing, The Graveyard Shift, and The Jacuzzi Job all take place in the Petronas Towers.” Wikipedia
Drawn from this place
Video games whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Petronas Towers as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
