A free website mapping more than 15,000 real-world filming locations lets movie and TV fans discover which productions were shot close to home.
Movie Scene Map is an interactive global atlas containing 15,716 filming locations across 166 countries. Users can search for a movie to see where it was made or enter a location to uncover the productions filmed there.
The project has pages for 9,295 movies and TV series, ranging from Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad to The Matrix, Harry Potter, and Jurassic Park. It was created by a developer known online as Flightmussy and is completely free, with no account, advertising, or paywall.
Movie Scene Map turns your hometown into a film tour
The website gained attention on September 5 after Nav Toor shared it on X, encouraging users to search their hometowns, vacation destinations, and favorite movies.
Visitors can move around the interactive map and select individual pins to see a photograph of the location and everything recorded as having been filmed there.
For example, Breaking Bad’s page includes Albuquerque, the Four Corners Monument, and the real house used as Walter White’s home. The Matrix is connected to locations across Sydney and San Francisco, including Martin Place and Sussex Street.
Other recognizable locations include Durham Cathedral from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Kauai from Jurassic Park, and Los Angeles’ Fox Plaza, better known to Die Hard fans as Nakatomi Plaza.
The map is built primarily using filming-location data from Wikidata, while additional locations found in Wikipedia articles are clearly labeled separately. The creator cautions that the atlas is curated rather than complete, meaning some productions or individual locations may still be missing.
Movie Scene Map also includes video games, anime, and manga, although these are mapped according to where their stories are set rather than where they were produced.
There is even a free daily game called SceneGuessr, which gives players five productions and asks them to pinpoint where each was filmed. Guesses are scored out of 5,000 depending on how far they land from a confirmed location.
It joins other wonderfully specific online distractions, including a browser game that turns picking locks into an entire heist and a Wikipedia gacha game that converts random articles into collectible cards.
