[font=Times New Roman][size=3]DVD Info: Widescreen, trailer, and cast bio?s. It?s a cheap DVD. [/size][/font].

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Plot: The tallest building in the world gets on fire. The people are trap inside. [/size][/font].

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]My view: This is a pretty good disaster movie. Its goes a bit long and sometimes overdramatic. Paul Newman and Steve McQueen do a pretty good job in this movie. This movie has great special effects for it?s time. This movie and the Postedan Adventure are considered the bench mark for disaster films. **** For the movie and ** for the DVD. I just hope FOX release?s a special edition DVD for this movie[/size][/font].
