Product Description

Amazon.ca

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

In my opinion the greatest disaster movie of the '70s. The picture and sound quality on this blu-ray is spectacular.

Was great seeing the all-star cast - most who have passed away already. Special effects were good for that era. Held the interest of everyone watching.
