John Guillermin's 1974 The Towering Inferno

At the opening party of a colossal, but poorly constructed, office building, a massive fire breaks out that threatens to destroy the tower and everyone in it.

“The Towering Inferno is one of the greatest disaster pictures made, a personal and professional triumph for producer Irwin Allen.” - Variety
