Story: During the opening of the Glass Tower (a.k.a the worlds tallest building), a tiny electric spark suddenly causes a raging inferno which traps the guests on the top floors. This then leads to a race against time to stop the fire from consuming the whole building and to rescue the trapped people before it is too late.
My thoughts: Following the success of The Poseidon Adventure, Irwin Allen produced this movie for both Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Brothers. Both studios had required the rights to two novels which both involves a building getting set on fire (The Glass Inferno and The Tower) and Allen (who thought that the two movies would cannibalize each other) propose that the two studios join forces and make one movie. This movie stars big name actors (like the Poseidon Adventure) like Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, and Fred Astaire. This film is also a must see for any Disaster film fan.
My score: Five stars.
