Synopsis
L’incendie est découvert par un policier qui tente en vain de pénétrer dans la maison. Il donne l’alerte. Les pompiers sortent une voiture de secours et attellent les chevaux qui s’élancent, immédiatement suivis par un autre véhicule. Dans sa chambre enfumée, un homme se désespère. Suffoquant, il essaye d’éteindre le feu qui le menace en versant l’eau d’un broc, une tentative dérisoire. Il cherche à sortir par la porte, il en est empêché par les flammes que l’on devine sur le palier. L’homme s’effondre sur le lit, évanoui. Lorsque le feu gagne les rideaux, les flammes en dévorant le voilage découvrent un pompier qui est là, derrière la fenêtre, juché sur une échelle. À coups de hache, il abat la croisée et entre, tirant derrière lui une lance d’incendie qu’il met en œuvre. Puis il prend l’homme toujours inconscient dans ses bras et l’évacue par la fenêtre. Portant l’homme sur son dos, il descend l'échelle. Arrivé au sol, le rescapé, qui a retrouvé ses esprits, se lamente, désignant la fenêtre, son enfant est restée dans la maison. Un autre pompier enfonce la porte et revient avec la fillette dans les bras, qu’il tend à son père, reconnaissant. À l’étage, un autre homme apparaît à une fenêtre, on tend une toile de secours, l’homme saute. Il est indemne, on l’évacue.Comments

William Dudley (Leslie Nielsen) is a corrupt mayor of a nameless Midwestern U.S. city who has allowed an oil refinery to be built right in the center of town, far from any river, lake or reservoir. On one typical hot summer day, Herman Stover (Jonathan Welsh), a dangerously disturbed employee at the works has been denied an expected promotion and in addition, finds himself fired. He then decides to take his revenge against the works by opening the valves to the storage vats and their interconnecting pipes, flooding the area and sewers with gasoline and chemicals. It doesn't take long for this act of petty vandalism to start a fire, which starts a chain reaction that causes massive explosions at the refinery, destroying it and spreading a mushroom-cloud of flame that soon engulfs the entire metropolis. The drama focuses on a newly built hospital which, like the refinery and all civic buildings that went up during the mayor's crooked administration, is shoddily built and poorly equipped where the head doctor, Frank Whitman (Barry Newman), and his staff treat thousands of casualties from the fire while the city fire chief Risley (Henry Fonda) keeps in constant contact with the fire companies fighting a losing battle against the fires, and Maggie Grayson (Ava Gardner), an alcoholic reporter, sees it as her chance to make it nationwide with her coverage of the story of the "city on fire".

Lee Dae-ho (Kim Sang-kyung) is a single father and manager of the 120 story luxurious landmark building complex, Tower Sky in Yeouido, Seoul. He is an earnest employee liked by his colleagues and is secretly in love and secretly even wanted to marry with Seo Yoon-hee (Son Ye-jin), a restaurant manager. The owner of the complex, Mr. Jo decides to hold a "White Christmas" party for tenants and VIPs on Christmas Eve, with helicopters circling above with huge lights attached below them, sprinkling snow onto the party. Dae-ho has promised to spend the day at an amusement park with his daughter Ha-na, but had to cancel when he is needed at the party. However, the building has faulty water sprinklers due to frozen pipes, but Mr. Cha, the Tower Sky's safety section head, is more concerned for the party than any possible architectural errors within the building, despite warnings from his fellow employers about these errors. (One example of their warnings is when cook Young-cheol (Jeon Bae-soo) accidentally leaves a stove on for too long and causes a minor fire.) Young-cheo is in love with a receptionist within the building named Min-jung, and even sneaks out of the kitchen while on duty to make her an ice cream. Meanwhile, Lee Seon-woo (Do Ji-han) is a rookie fireman entering the Yeouido Fire Station. When he gets accepted, he learns that many of the firefighters get more breaks than actual firefighting. In a prank to fool Seon-woo, the other firefighters ring the fire alarm for the squad to assemble while he takes a shower, causing him to appear in front of his entire team naked, much to the other firefighters' and even his own pleasure as they put his helmet on him for the first time.
