    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Both novels were inspired by the construction of the World Trade Center in the early-1970s, and what could happen with a fire in a skyscraper. InRichard Martin Stern's novel "The Tower", the fictional 125-story building was set next to the north tower of the World Trade Center. The climax of the novel was centered around a rescue mounted from the north tower.
    • Goofs
      (at around 2h 35 mins) At the end of the movie the tower seems to be well lit despite the power outage caused by the fire.
    • Quotes

      Doug Roberts:I don't know. Maybe they just oughta leave it the way it is. Kind of a shrine to all the bullshit in the world.

    • Crazy credits
      The 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. Pictures logos don't appear in the beginning.
    • Alternate versions
      The film was re-dubbed in 2003 for the German DVD release. All subsequent releases on DVD and Blu-ray feature this new dubbing, many TV airings as well.

    Still one of the best disaster movies ever made!

    Incredibly, 'The Towering Inferno' holds so well by today's standards that it is still one of the best disaster movies of its kind ever made. I can only imagine what it must have been like seeing this in a theatre almost four decades ago.

    The attention to detail is fantastic, and I enjoyed everything from the character set-up to the way the disaster unfolded. The very scale of this ambitious film is mindboggling. Paul Newman and Steve McQueen are excellent in their respective roles, both making credible and likable heroes.

    'The Towering Inferno' is a very detailed account of a skyscraper fire disaster. This is realistic and believable and the visual effects are incredible considering it was made way back in 1974. No CGI. Just practical effects, and real danger! This was a fascinating thrill ride! I love it!
