Wenigstens soll die Tochter beim Fest dabei sein, was Dae-ho jedoch bald bereut, als Hubschrauber, die den Kunstschnee besorgen sollten, mit der Fassade kollidieren und einen Brand auslösen. Für die in den oberen Stockwerken Eingeschlossenen, darunter Dae-ho und seine Tochter. beginnt ein grausamer Überlebenskampf.
Koreanischer Katastrophenfilm der gehobenen Budgetklasse, eine Quasivariante des Hollywood-Klassikers "Flammendes Inferno" mit sehr ähnlicher Struktur und Dramaturgie. Natürlich werden dabei auch Erinnerungen an den 11. September wach und mitunter gar von den Bildern beschworen, nicht immer takt-, aber stets effektvoll. Der Ton schwankt zwischen explosiv und getragen, mitunter bricht sich, auch hier nah am Vorbild Hollywood, der Kitsch Bahn. Solider Zeitvertreib für Actionfans.
On Christmas Eve at Tower Sky, an ultra-luxurious building complex, a White Christmas party is held to dazzle its equally high-end tenants and VIP guests. Dae-ho, the manager of the building and single father, is forced to cancel plans with his daughter Hana to work the event. His Christmas is saved when Yoon-hee, the food mall manager with a secret crush on Dae-ho, offers to babysit Hana during the party. Meanwhile, Young-ki the legendary fire chief of Yoido Station has finally promised his first holiday date night to his long suffering wife. The party is in full swing with the spectacular sight of two helicopters flying overhead just to spray snow on the partygoers and make everything perfect. When unthinkable disaster strikes, Dae-ho and Young-ki must summon all their strength and courage to save the lives of thousands but at what cost to themselves and their loved ones?
