People's lives are disrupted as a major earthquake devastates Los Angeles. Ridiculous ensemble cast backed with a Mario Puzo screenplay and "Sensurround" sound. Still, one of the better disaster films of the 70s. Various edits of this film exist. Won an Oscar for Best Sound and a Special Achievement Oscar for Best Effects; received additional nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Set Decoration and Best Editing.
