helicopter escape
Rooftop aerial departure
A helicopter escape is an evacuation or getaway by helicopter, typically from a dangerous or besieged location.
The term often describes dramatic extractions—prisoners fleeing by air, executives lifted from rooftops during riots, or military personnel evacuated under fire: The embassy staff made a helicopter escape as the city fell.
In gaming and action narratives, it's a common climactic set piece.
