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

Following up his 1972 disaster blockbuster "The Poseidon Adventure", Irwin Allen sat in the director's chair and traded in a sinking ship for a burning skyscraper. Why should someone still find interest in this film, some might ask?
First, this film has an all-star cast that is one of the heaviest of its time. It is sometimes argued as to who is the "star" of this film, but the fact is, the film is full of stars who all have an important role in the drama that plays out before the viewer. ... Read More
