The Towering Inferno (1974)

view map

This one has not aged too well by today's standards, especially when it comes to to special effects.
But what a cast it had, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, Fred Astaire, Richard Chamberlain, O.J. Simpson, Robert Wagner, etc.
Made during the disaster movie craze in the 70's, this film made $116 million, on a $14 million budget.
The inferno pictured is a bit smaller than the 138 story building of the film and has been geotagged for you convenience.
