The Towering Inferno (1974).At the opening party of a colossal, but poorly constructed, office building, a massive fire breaks out that threatens to destroy the tower and everyone in it.Another day, another disaster film, although this one does have the doubtless benefit of a golden-age cast. In that sense, it becomes a who’s-who of tinseltown, and it’s pretty fun to watch Steve McQueen face off against Paul Newman and Fred Astaire tend to the bar. For that alone, the movie’s worth the watch, but otherwise it really is yoour run of the mill action-disaster flick. 6/10. -- source link
