I'm guessing it might have been possible for the bad guy to call out for additional men & machinery to come int, get the ladder across, and then immediately dismiss them again. | |

It may not work solo, or in a small group, but in the context of the movie, it should be feasible. | |

If the unsupported end does drop, you can anchor your end and pull on the rope, which should cause the other end of the ladder to lift. You could even let the end drop intentionally, which would be the opposite of your first suggestion, without requiring a lot of space above the gap you're trying to bridge. I don't think there's any indication ropes were involved in the movie, though. | |
