'The Towering Inferno' is an American disaster film, starring Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Faye Dunaway and many other well-known actors and actresses. It was made in 1974, and is one of the most exciting films.
The story takes places in a huge skyscraper, which has just been built. A party is being held to celebrate the opening of the skyscraper. The guests at the party are famous film stars, singers, and politicians. Unfortunately the party is being held at the top of the lower floors. The famous guests are trapped. The film shows the attempts to rescure them, and it is full of suspence and excitement.
Paul Newman plays Doug Roberts, the architect who designed the building. He is very good in this role, but my favorite character is the fire-chief, played by Steve McQueen. We see him in action in come of the most exciting moments on the film. For example, he climbs down a rope from a helicopter. The special effects in the film are spectacular.
This film is really a disaster film. Anyone who likes disaster films will enjoy 'The Towering Inferno' very much.
