The movie doesn't stick together in one's head; this thing is like some junky fairground show -- a chamber of horrors with skeletons that jump up.

Irwin Allen, the Busby Berkeley of natural disasters and other people's troubles, teams up with John Guillermin, a competent if undistinguished action director.

The Towering Inferno is one of the greatest disaster pictures made, a personal and professional triumph for producer Irwin Allen.

A starry cast share out roles that are less like characters than places in a lifeboat.

You may not come out of the theater with any important ideas about American architecture or enterprise, but you will have had a vivid, completely safe nightmare.

The Towering Inferno is a brawny blockbuster of a movie, by far the best of the mid-1970s wave of disaster films.

Audience Reviews for The Towering Inferno

Dec 02, 2015Really cool. This film is legendary for basically starting the entire disaster movie genre. It's very entertaining from beginning to end, and watching Newman and McQueen together in one movie is pretty damn awesome.Stephen S Super Reviewer

May 12, 2014If it's the 70s, it must be the era of the disaster movie. Here we have yes..a towering inferno and a bunch of stars desperately trying to escape it. These epics are entertaining but superficial in their treatment of natural disasters.John B Super Reviewer

Dec 15, 2012Overlong by a good half hour but still pretty gripping, "The Towering Inferno" is one of the classic disaster movies and deserves to be treated as such. There's nothing incredible about it, but you might be surprised at how involved you actually get.Stephen E Super Reviewer

Mar 29, 2012The movie was ok but a few scenes got dragged out and the movie was too long for what it was. The acting was alright but could of been better. Wouldn't recommend watching it unless you love these types of movies. I myself got a little bored of it. Seemed to have some errors as well why did a door on the observatory floor say fl 102 meaning floor 102 when the tower is over 135 stories high?Paul A Super Reviewer
