Released: 1974 |
| Do you like your cast members extra crispy or
original recipe? Okay, maybe you'd prefer for them to not be
burned at all. Especially when the cast consists of people
like: Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, William Holden, Faye Dunaway and
Fred Astaire. The title is an obvious give-away regarding
the subject matter of the movie. The recently completed
(fictional) San Francisco skyscraper, "The Glass Tower," sort of catches
fire. Well, maybe more than sort of. In fact, it goes up
like Michael Jackson's hair did in that Pyrotechnic mishap he
experienced during the filming of that Pepsi commercial.
What's worse is that it's on the night of the dedication ceremony, were
the party is being held on the 130th floor. And to add fuel to the
fire (so to speak) the fire starts 50 floors below the party. How
do they get out of this one? Well, you'll have to watch the movie
but let's just say that there's a lot of action, the effects were the
best the time period in which it was filmed had to offer and the cast
was top notch. |
