It turns out, this screening was about more than just promoting the film. Dwayne used it as an opportunity to thank a Navy veteran for not only serving his country but also his community.

A handwritten note from The Rock sat on the dashboard, which read, "Thank you for your service brother. Enjoy your new truck."
And Dwayne Johnson didn't just give away any truck. He gave his own, custom-made personal truck!
Originally, The Rock wanted to give away the Porsche Taycan used in his movie, Red Notice. However, Porsche said no. But Oscar Rodriguez's story touched Dwayne Johnson so deeply, he decided to give up his personal truck to honor the incredible service provided by this humble hero.
The act of kindness moved the Navy veteran to tears.
"I just hope and pray that this will inspire other people, will lift other people up," Oscar later said of the incredible moment.
