Movie Reviews of The Towering Inferno (Special Edition)

Movie Review: Before 2012
Summary: 4 Stars

Before Roland Emmerich there was Irwin Allen. THE TOWERING INFERNO is the height of the 1970's disaster films. Boasting the star power of Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Fred Astaire, Jennifer Jones, Robert Vaughn, Richard Chamberlain and more. The world's tallest building catches fire amid the fiestivaties celebrating its opening. Long, but heavy on action. Extras include featurettes on the production.

Summary of The Towering Inferno (Special Edition)

A dedication ceremony at the world's tallest skyscraper turns into a high-rise catastrophe when a defective wire in its systems-control panel causes an electrical flare-up. Within minutes the gala event turns into a hellish inferno, as a raging fire traps
Disaster movies used to work because there was little certainty as to who would survive. Not so in this film, really an amalgam of two original stories, about a group of well-to-do celebrants at the top floor of a skyscraper. Cheapo electrical wiring and bad construction management cause an enormous blaze at the lower floors, steadily rising to consume the revelers. Newman's an architect, McQueen a firefighter, and Fred Astaire a kind old gentleman, for which he was Oscar-nominated. O.J. Simpson plays a security guard who rescues a cat. Now that's a disaster. --Keith Simanton
