The skyscraper is burning (1974) Steve McQueen, William Holden

The premiere party for the world’s tallest skyscraper catches fire due to poor wiring due to corruption. A determined fire chief and an architect fight the fire from the outside and the inside respectively. Meanwhile, the fire engulfs floor by floor of the skyscraper, while the owner of the building struggles to find safety for the trapped party at the highest floor. This films director refused to film the nasty death scenes in this film, so a violence director was called in, guess the rating? PG! A real disaster classic film but critics didnt like the death scenes and women yapping about their first world problems.
