The Disaster Film ruled the 1970s! All-star casts were trapped in a chorus line of life threatening scenarios - and audiences excitedly watched if they could manage to survive the catastrophe.

Disaster films came in all shapes and scales. From epic wide-screen big-budget films with the most popular actors of the time, to cheaper and smaller television movies of the week. They have become a time capsule of the era.

No matter the form the disaster took, typically most disaster films followed something of a blueprint. A template, tropes and clichés that would be recurring storytelling tools in a 1970s disaster movie.

This is a compilation of some of the best known and more obscure and forgotten disaster films from the 1970s, the wide range of actors that appeared in them and 'the recipe for disaster' many of them followed.
