Comment
Paul Newman is the architect of a skyscraper who discovers a problem at its opening, but it goes ahead and there are a series of fires that Steve McQueen as the fire chief has to deal with. This is the classic disaster film of the 1970's, and the first of the disaster films that followed up. It has a good story line and an excellent ensemble cast.
