Synopsis

Master burglar Max Hopper is released early after three years and soon gets an exceptional job: stealing an advanced computer-chip from the IQ Industries headquarters. His first attempt fails; when he enters in cop uniform during an emergency board meeting, a fire quickly spreads- he considers it a godsend opportunity and stays, but soon has his hands too full saving other lives and just surviving to concentrate on the chip; only the owner, his wife who just filed for divorce and a few employees remain, but it soon turns out one of them stole company secrets but the arsonist and/or another chip-thieves are among them.

JimmyL5555 A high-tech thief's latest mission may be his last when he crosses paths with a corrupt executive in a burning building. Dean Cain stars as Max Hooper who makes Mission Impossible-type capers look easy. This movie has as much fun as "Lethal Weapon" and as much drama as "Die Hard." Add that to the suspense in "Towering Inferno" and you have the recipe for a top-notch disaster film. A corrupt executive schedules in impromptu meeting in his office with his colleagues; unbeknownst to him, Max Hooper is in the building trying to steal a valuable computer chip, his wife & her lawyer show up to give him divorce papers, and someone in his company is attempting to ruin him, and in the process, starts a fire.But who is behind what? And why? There are surprises at every turn, and keeps you riveted until the end. Excellent writing, excellent acting, excellent directing, excellent special effects ... all in all, an excellent movie. Give this one a viewing. You will not be sorry.
LoriPettyfan I thought this movie was really good. All of the actors did very well, especially Lori Petty. Dean Cain was good as well. I don't know why a lot of people hate this movie. It is full of suspense, and a little bit of drama was thrown in as well. The story was pretty good, and the scenes in the building when it was on fire were really good. I agree that the janitor was stupid when he was trying to put out the fire was a broom, but if we didn't have stupid people in the world today, then it would be a boring place to live now would it? I wouldn't say it was my most favorite movie of all time, but if you watch a movie that can keep your eyes glued to the T.V, and make you wonder what's going to happen next, then it is good.P.S: We need more movies that star Lori Petty.9/10
chuckrules Dean Cain, the one time Super-Man, plays Max Hooper the super-thief. He can break into any company and steal any thing for the right price. Unfortunately his latest heist ends him up in a high-rise in which someone else has set a fire to hide their own attempts to steal the product. Now the thief finds himself having to be the hero rescuing everyone in the building. Unfortunately the other thief is still in the building and the F.B.I. & C.I.A. are outside waiting for Max.The movie is barely passable. Dean Cain is a fun actor and has done much better with more improved material but here he is saddled with a weak script and pretty poor direction.
danielimmel I saw this film, in hopes that the jacket would provide an adequate premonition of what it had promised. And unfortunately, it did not. Dean Cain did his best with the writing, although I must say the acting was horrific. One liners were almost laughable at times. The fire scenes were impressive, however implausible when trying to convey the situation in technical terms to the average layman. No sprinklers went on during a building explosion?!?! Get real! Overall, not a good movie, and somewhat of an major editing faux-pas at the end in the credits. Dean Cain's character was Max Hooper, not a character named "Jack." I thought editing the final product was crucial for a consummate delivery.
