The Towering Inferno
1974
**½
Director: John Guillermin, Irwin Allen
Cast: Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden, Faye Dunaway
A state-of-the-art skyscraper is on fire, and its designer and a fire chief, played by Paul Newman and Steve McQueen respectively, try to prevent tragedy. This disaster film is OK but it's overlong and predictable. A winner of three Academy Awards.
