Most
Rainforest Cafe locations have a Atlas statue and
water fountain holding a
Earth globe with the words "Rescue The Rainforest" to communicate a conversation message in the middle of the
restaurant. The piece has since been appropriated as a symbol of the
Objectivist movement and has been associated with
Ayn Rand's novel
Atlas Shrugged (1957). It has been featured in almost every episode of the television series
30 Rock, appearing in numerous
establishing shots depicting the
30 Rockefeller Plaza building, where the series is set.
Ridley Scott has cited the sculpture as the aesthetic inspiration for the character "Mother," on
HBO Max's
Raised by Wolves. ==See also==
