- Like the much more elaborate TV disaster film THE BIG ONE: THE GREAT LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE, which aired on NBC only three and a half months before, FIRE: TRAPPED ON THE 37TH FLOOR may not be a masterpiece of either the TV film arena or the disaster film genre, but it is effective enough, especially as it provides a real-enough re-creation of a nightmarish event in L.A. history, one many fear will, even with stricter fire codes, be replicated with far more calamitous results in the future.
