The Towering Inferno (movie)(Redirected from The Towering Inferno)The Towering Inferno is a 1974 disaster movie adapted by Stirling Silliphant from the novels The Tower by Richard Martin Stern and The Glass Inferno by Thomas N. Scortia and Frank M. Robinson. After the success of The Poseidon Adventure, Warner Brothers bought the rights to film The Tower for $390,000. Eight weeks later, Irwin Allen discovered The Glass Inferno and bought the rights for $400,000 for 20th Century Fox. In order to avoid having two similar films produced at the same time, the productions were combined, with a budget of $14 million (staggering for the time). Each studio paid half of the production costs. In return, Fox was given the United States box office receipts, and Warner Brothers got the profits from the rest of the world. The movie's 57 sets and four complete camera crews established records for a single film on the Twentieth Century Fox lot. In addition, songstress Maureen McGovern was hired to sing the love theme for both films (both of which won Academy Awards). The movie was released a year after the two World Trade Center skyscrapers — at that time, the newest, tallest buildings in the world — were opened in New York City. Both novels upon which this movie was based were inspired by the construction of the World Trade Center towers and concerns over what would happen if a fire broke out in a large tower. Although the two disasters were not alike (in particular, the fictional Glass Tower did not collapse), following the events of September 11, 2001, the film was often referred to by the media. (Coincidentally, principal photography on The Towering Inferno was completed on September 11th, 1974.) Primary cast

PlotSpoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.In the film, a new but poorly-constructed office / residential skyscraper — at 138 stories, the world's tallest — catches fire in San Francisco. Fire fighters battle the flames and make many daring attempts to rescue people trapped in the building. This includes a party of 300 dignitaries who were celebrating the building's opening and become trapped in a restaurant on the top floor. Stirling Silliphant was hired to combine both novels, taking seven main characters from each book. Features from the storyline of each book were used as well. In The Tower, a bomb in the main utility room causes a power surge, which sets a janitor's closet on fire; the escape from the top floor is by breeches buoy, and is only partially successful (more than a hundred partygoers die when fire overtakes the restaurant). In The Glass Inferno, a carelessly-discarded cigarette sets the janitor's closet on fire; the escape from the top floor is by helicopter and is more successful (everyone left in the restaurant escapes by helicopter). In The Towering Inferno, a short-circuit during routine pre-dedication testing causes a power surge which sets a janitor's closet on fire (a scenario closer to that of The Tower); escape by helicopter fails due to high winds, but escapes by breeches buoy to a neighboring 100-floor skyscraper, and an exterior "Scenic Elevator" are more successful. Initially, the fire chief's role was relatively minor; the architect was the lead and hero. Also, Ernest Borgnine (Detective Rogo in Allen's The Poseidon Adventure) was planned to be Fire Chief Mario Infantino to Steve McQueen's architect Doug Roberts. However, when McQueen signed on, he requested the fire chief's role, providing that the roles were made equal (including an equal number of lines and equal pay) and an actor of high caliber was signed to take the architect's role. Enter Paul Newman, who became Doug Roberts as McQueen became Fire Chief Michael O'Hallorhan. McQueen, Newman, and Holden all tried to obtain top billing; Holden was refused out of hand. However, to provide "dual" top billing and mollify McQueen, the credits were arranged diagonally, with McQueen at the lower-left and Newman at the upper-right. Thus, each actor appeared to have "top billing" depending on whether the poster was read from left-to-right or from top-to-bottom [1] (http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/pd--10134441/The_Towering_Inferno_Style_A.htm), though technically McQueen has "top billing". The atrium of San Francisco's Hyatt Regency Hotel (at 5 Embarcadero Center) was used as the lobby for the fictional Glass Tower. This hotel actually features three glass-walled elevators, similar to the glass-walled "Scenic Elevator" of the fictional Glass Tower; it was also seen in Mel Brooks' comedy High Anxiety. The Bank of America building at 555 California Street in San Francisco was used to double for the outside facade and plaza of the Glass Tower. Utility areas of the immense Century City complex in Los Angeles (adjacent to the Twentieth Century Fox studios) stood in for the Glass Tower's security control room and water tank area. The Glass Tower itself was a matte painting in the opening shot, and an 80-foot tall "miniature" fitted with propane gas jets for exterior fire scenes. There are many small parts in the movie played by actors who appeared in The Poseidon Adventure, which Irwin Allen also produced.

One of the more memorable scenes that he appears in is when he is playing air hockey against Jimi Hendrix in heaven and Newton says:"That's game, Hendrix!".
In addition, songstress Maureen McGovern was hired to sing the love theme for both films (both of which won Academy Awards). Newton appeared, along with Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein in a poker game in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The movie's 57 sets and four complete camera crews established records for a single film on the Twentieth Century Fox lot. Newton also figures as a major character in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. In return, Fox was given the United States box office receipts, and Warner Brothers got the profits from the rest of the world. An ongoing gag involves various depictions of the legend that he discovered the law of gravity due to an apple falling on his head. Each studio paid half of the production costs. Isaac Newton is the hero of Rubrique-à-brac, a French comic strip by Marcel Gotlieb. In order to avoid having two similar films produced at the same time, the productions were combined, with a budget of $14 million (staggering for the time). This was said to be done so that he wouldn't have to disrupt his optical experiments, conducted in a darkened room, to let his cat in or out. Eight weeks later, Irwin Allen discovered The Glass Inferno and bought the rights for $400,000 for 20th Century Fox. Also on a more practical level, to a large portion of households, Newton invented the cat flap. After the success of The Poseidon Adventure, Warner Brothers bought the rights to film The Tower for $390,000. For this reason, he is generally considered one of history's greatest scientists, ranking alongside such figures as Einstein and Gauss. Scortia and Frank M. Robinson. Finally, he unified many of the isolated physics facts that had been discovered earlier into a satisfying system of laws. The Towering Inferno is a 1974 disaster movie adapted by Stirling Silliphant from the novels The Tower by Richard Martin Stern and The Glass Inferno by Thomas N. His calculus proved vitally important to the development of further scientific theories.

Robert Wagner: Dan Bigelow. Newton never married, nor had any recorded children. Gary Parker. Newton was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705, not for his scientific achievements but for his political presence. Robert Vaughn: Sen. The book is also known for the first exposure of the idea of the interchangeability of mass and energy: "Gross bodies and light are convertible into one another...". Simpson: Harry Jernigan. In 1704 Newton wrote Opticks, in which he expounded his corpuscular theory of light. O.J. In his position at the Royal Society, Newton made an enemy of John Flamsteed, the Astronomer Royal, by attempting to steal his catalogue of observations. Jennifer Jones: Lisolette Mueller. In 1703 Newton became President of the Royal Society and an associate of the French Académie des Sciences. Richard Chamberlain: Roger Simmons. In 1701 Newton anonymously published a law of thermodynamics now known as "Newton's law of cooling" in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. Susan Blakely: Patty Simmons.

He took charge of England's great recoining, somewhat treading on the toes of Master Lucas (and finagling Edmond Halley into deputy comptroller of the temporary Chester branch). Steve McQueen: Chief Michael O'Hallorhan. Newton moved to London to take up the post of warden of the Royal Mint in 1696, a position that he had obtained through the patronage of Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax, then Chancellor of the Exchequer. Newton was also a member of Parliament from 1689 to 1690 and in 1701, but his only recorded comments were to complain about a cold draft in the chamber and request that the window be closed. He also devoted a great deal of time to alchemy (see above)2. John (1733) — were published after his death. Later works — The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended (1728) and Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. A manuscript he sent to John Locke in which he disputed the existence of the Trinity was never published. Henry More's belief in the infinity of the universe and rejection of Cartesian dualism may have influenced Newton's religious ideas. In the 1690s Newton wrote a number of religious tracts dealing with the literal interpretation of the Bible. The end of this friendship led Newton to a nervous breakdown. He acquired a circle of admirers, including the Swiss-born mathematician Nicolas Fatio de Duillier, with whom he formed an intense relationship that lasted until 1693. With the Principia, Newton became internationally recognised. In the same work he presented the first analytical determination, based on Boyle's Law, of the speed of sound in air. He used the Latin word gravitas (weight) for the force that would become known as gravity, and defined the law of universal gravitation. In this work Newton stated the three universal laws of motion that were not to be improved upon for more than two hundred years. Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (now known as the Principia) was published in 1687 with encouragement and financial help from Edmond Halley. This contained the beginnings of the laws of motion that would inform the Principia. He published his results in De Motu Corporum (1684). In 1679, Newton returned to his work on mechanics, i.e., gravitation and its effect on the orbits of planets, with reference to Kepler's laws of motion, and consulting with Hooke and Flamsteed on the subject. (See also Isaac Newton's occult studies.). (This was at a time when there was no clear distinction between alchemy and science.) Had he not relied on the occult idea of action at a distance, across a vacuum, he might not have developed his theory of gravity. John Maynard Keynes, who acquired many of Newton's writings on alchemy, stated that "Newton was not the first of the age of reason: he was the last of the magicians." Newton's interest in alchemy cannot be isolated from his contributions to science2. He replaced the ether with occult forces based on Hermetic ideas of attraction and repulsion between particles. Newton was in contact with Henry More, the Cambridge Platonist who was born in Grantham, on alchemy, and now his interest in the subject revived. In his Hypothesis of Light of 1675, Newton posited the existence of the ether to transmit forces between particles. Figure 15 of Part II of Book one of Opticks shows a perfect illustration of how this occurs. Newton is believed to have been the first to explain precisely, the formation of the rainbow from water droplets dispersed in the atmosphere in a rain shower. Today's quantum mechanics recognises a "wave-particle duality"; however photons bear very little semblance to Newton's corpuscles (e.g., corpuscles refracted by accelerating toward the denser medium). Later physicists instead favoured a wave explanation of light to account for diffraction. Newton argued that light is composed of particles; thus he could not explain the diffraction of light. Mr Hooke tried casually with glass wedges filled with red and blue Liquors, and was surprised at the unexpected Event, the reason of it being then unknown; which makes me trust the more to his experiment, though I have not tried it myself." Thus Newton was not completely without respect for Hooke. For example in Opticks, Book I Part II, referring to the combining effect of colour filters, Newton refers to Hooke's experiments: " .. Although is it widely known and accepted that there was considerable antagonism between Newton and Robert Hooke, Newton does make the occasional respectful reference to Hooke's work. II, 10)) from "Pigmies placed on the shoulders of giants see more than the giants themselves", Newton was perhaps making a more personal point than the mere expression of modesty — Hooke was a man of short stature. In changing this quotation of Didacus Stella (Lucan (vol. He once said, in a letter to Hooke dated 5 February 1676:. In one experiment, to prove that colour was caused by pressure on the eye, Newton slid a darning needle around the side of his eye until he could poke at its rear side, dispassionately noting "white, darke & coloured circles" so long as he kept stirring with "ye bodkin.". The two men remained enemies until Hooke's death. When Robert Hooke criticised some of Newton's ideas, Newton was so offended that he withdrew from public debate. Their interest encouraged him to publish his notes On Colour, which he later expanded into his Opticks. (Only later, as glasses with a variety of refractive properties became available, did achromatic lenses for refractors become feasible.) In 1671 the Royal Society asked for a demonstration of his reflecting telescope. By grinding his own mirrors, using Newton's rings to judge the quality of the optics for his telescopes, he was able to produce a superior instrument to the refracting telescope, due primarily to the wider diameter of the mirror. From this work he concluded that any refracting telescope would suffer from the dispersion of light into colours, and invented a reflecting telescope (today, known as a Newtonian telescope) to bypass that problem. For more details, see Newton's theory of colour. Thus the colours we observe are the result of how objects interact with the incident already-coloured light, not the result of objects generating the colour. Newton noted that regardless of whether it was, reflected or scattered or transmitted, it stayed the same colour. He also showed that the coloured light does not change its properties, by separating out a coloured beam and shining it on various objects. During this period he investigated the refraction of light, demonstrating that a prism could decompose white light into a spectrum of colours, and that a lens and a second prism could recompose the multicoloured spectrum into white light. From 1670 to 1672 he lectured on optics. This prevented the conflict that would have occurred between his religious views and the orthodoxy of the church. Newton argued that this should exempt him from the normal ordination requirement, and Charles II, whose permission was needed, accepted this argument. However the terms of the Lucasian professorship required that the holder not be active in the church (presumably so as to have more time for science). Any fellow of Cambridge or Oxford had to be ordained at the time. He was elected Lucasian professor of mathematics in 1669. (Curiously, in Germany the Newtonian notation is more popular.) Though Newton belongs among the brightest scientists of his era, the last 25 years of his life were marred by a bitter dispute with Leibniz, whom he accused of plagiarism. Although Newton had worked out his own method before Leibniz, the latter's notation and "Differential Method" were superior, and were generally adopted throughout the English-speaking world. Newton and Leibniz developed the theory of calculus independently, using different notations. In the same year he circulated his findings in De Analysi per Aequationes Numeri Terminorum Infinitas (On Analysis by Infinite Series), and later in De methodis serierum et fluxionum (On the Methods of Series and Fluxions), whose title gave the name to his "method of fluxions". Newton became a fellow of Trinity College in 1667. It is now generally considered probable that even this story was invented by Newton in later life, to illustrate how he drew inspiration from everyday events. Why should it not go sideways or upwards, but constantly to the earth's centre." In similar terms, Voltaire wrote in his Essay on Epic Poetry (1727), "Sir Isaac Newton walking in his gardens, had the first thought of his system of gravitation, upon seeing an apple falling from a tree." These accounts are exaggerations of Newton's own tale about sitting by a window in his home (Woolsthorpe Manor) and watching an apple fall from a tree. Why should that apple always descend perpendicularly to the ground, thought he to himself. It was occasioned by the fall of an apple, as he sat in contemplative mood. A contemporary writer, William Stukeley, recorded in his Memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton's Life a conversation with Newton in Kensington on 15 April 1726, in which Newton recalled "when formerly, the notion of gravitation came into his mind. The popular tradition has it that Newton was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head, and that this made him understand that earthly and celestial gravitation are the same. For the next two years Newton worked at home on calculus, optics and gravitation. Soon after Newton had obtained his degree in 1665, the University closed down as a precaution against the Great Plague. In 1665 he discovered the binomial theorem and began to develop a mathematical theory that would later become calculus. At that time the college's teachings were based on those of Aristotle, but Newton preferred to read the more advanced ideas of modern philosophers such as Descartes, Galileo, Copernicus and Kepler. In 1661 he joined Trinity College, Cambridge, where his uncle William Ayscough had studied. His teacher said:. This he did at the age of 18, achieving an admirable final report. However he was thoroughly unhappy with the work and eventually with the help of his uncle and of his schoolteacher, he managed to persuade his mother to send him back to school so that he might complete his schooling. His family then removed him from school and attempted to make a farmer of him. From the age of 12 until he was 17, Newton was educated at Grantham Grammar School. Eves:. Bell (1937, Simon and Schuster) and H. When Newton was two years old, his mother went to live with her new husband, leaving her son in the care of his grandmother. His father had died three months before Newton's birth. Newton was premature and no one expected him to live; indeed, his mother is reported to have said that his body at that time could have fit inside a quart mug. Newton was born in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire. . Finally, he studied the speed of sound in air, and voiced a theory of the origin of stars. Newton also developed a law of cooling, describing the rate of cooling of objects when exposed to air; the binomial theorem in its entirety; and the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum. He was the first to realise that the spectrum of colours observed when white light passed through a prism was inherent in the white light and not added by the prism as Roger Bacon had claimed in the 13th century. He is also notable for his arguments that light was composed of particles (see wave-particle duality). He would expand these laws by arguing that orbits (such as those of comets) were not only elliptic, but could also be hyperbolic and parabolic. Newton is also credited with providing mathematical substantiation for Kepler's laws of planetary motion. He is associated with the scientific revolution and the advancement of heliocentrism. Newton was the first to promulgate a set of natural laws that could govern both terrestrial motion and celestial motion. He is considered a genius of the highest order. While they both discovered calculus nearly contemporaneously, their work was not a collaboration. Newton also shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for the development of differential calculus. Sir Isaac Newton, FRS (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727 by the Julian calendar in use in England at the time; or 4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727 by the Gregorian calendar) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and alchemist who wrote the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (published 5 July 16871), where he described universal gravitation and, via his laws of motion, laid the groundwork for classical mechanics.
