Directed by Mark Robson, written by Mario Puzo and George Fox, produced by Mark Robson and Bernard Donnenfeld.
Average viewer score of 6.2/10 from 381 ratings.
Not a great disaster movie and a far far cry from The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno (a personal favorite of mine) but some decent special and miniature effects even when the performances were always the best. Still passable 1970s-era entertainment.
