The Towering Inferno
In 1974 there were movie stars and there were "Movie Stars" and The Towering Inferno was as packed full of "Movie Stars" as a DLG's underwear is packed full of prime beef. Let's just see who was in this terrifying movie:

- William Holden
- Faye Dunaway

With a title like this you know there is going to be some serious heat on the party dance floor.
Doug Roberts is chief architect for Duncan Enterprises, an architectural firm specializing in skyscrappers.
Their latest and greatest project is a Glass Tower which stands a whopping 1,800 feet high and set for dedication in San Francisco. A bitchin' party is scheduled to include Mayor Robert Ramsey and Senator Gary Parker.
Doug gets a call from the Tower utility room in the building's basement and in a routine check of the building's generators they find that a power surge has blown out a circuit breaker. This can easily be fixed.
Unknown to everyone the surge has also blown out another circuit breaker on the 81st floor that sends a wire flopping onto shop rags in a large storage closet. Ths rags catch fire. Holy shit!
Well, before you know it, the party is in full swing and so is the fuckin' fire but who knows about it?
