Leans Traditional
Primary
While the film critiques corporate negligence and greed as the catalyst for the disaster, its primary narrative thrust focuses on apolitical themes of human survival, professional heroism, and collective action in crisis, resulting in a neutral political stance.
The movie features a largely traditional cast for its time, with no explicit DEI-driven casting choices evident in major roles. The narrative primarily focuses on a disaster and its resolution, without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes into its central plot.
Secondary
The film "The Towering Inferno" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a disaster scenario and the efforts to save lives, without incorporating queer identities or experiences into its plot or character arcs.
The film is a disaster movie centered on a massive fire in a skyscraper. The narrative focuses on survival against the environmental threat and rescue efforts. There are no scenes depicting female characters engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
The film adapts characters from its source novels, 'The Tower' and 'The Glass Inferno,' without altering their established genders. All major characters retain the gender they had in the original literary works.
The film is an adaptation of two novels. An examination of the main characters and their portrayals against their source material reveals no instances where a character's established race was changed. The character of Jernigan, played by O.J. Simpson, did not have a specified race in the source novels.
