Towering inferno

The world's tallest building is skyscraping testimony to ingenuity and innovation. In the hands of "master of disaster" film producer Irwin Allen, it's also the world's tallest matchstick. An all-star cast gathers for this tall story of lofty dimentions: 8 Academy Award nominations and three Oscars. On the night of the building's dedication, fire erupts, trapping people on the upper floors...and igniting multiple tales of heroism and loss involving a firefighter (Steve McQueen), an architect (Paul Newmna) and others caught in the steel-and-glass inferno. With star power, pyrotechnics and suspense in abundance, The Towering Inferno sizzled at box offices worldwide. Starring: Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, William Holden, Faye Dunaway, Fred Astaire, Jennifer Jones. 159 minutes
