Reviews


90
Variety - Unnamed
The Towering Inferno is one of the greatest disaster pictures made, a personal and professional triumph for producer Irwin Allen.
83
The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
The fun of watching The Towering Inferno is in figuring out which old star Allen is going to indiscriminately kill off, as well as watching ultramodern décor go up in flames while a bunch of stubborn egotists refuse to listen to reasonable men.
80
Empire - Unnamed
Much more than a way to pass a rainy bank holiday afternoon, this is rocking good superleague disaster adventure.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
By far the best of the mid-1970s wave of disaster films.
75
Slant Magazine - Unnamed
In nearly every reasonable sense it’s the far more accomplished of the two famed Allen disaster epics.
