About Terror on the 40th Floor
A number of business people, keeping the Christmas Eve office party going longer than was originally intended, are beset by a fire that starts in the basement of their office building and creeps up at them from floor to floor.
Directed by Jerry Jameson, Terror on the 40th Floor leans on a strong ensemble — John Forsythe, Joseph Campanella, Lynn Carlin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1974.
