Eric is in love with Stéphanie, an executive who he has never talked to, but who he sees every day because she works in the skyscrapper. Shortly after the close of business, a group of gangsters enters the building and takes hostage several executives, including Stéphanie. Éric and Ramzy, who have stayed late in the skyscrapper, will try to free her.A prequel, La Tour de contrôle infernale, was released in 2016. |

Knight's Armor Hideout: Éric and Ramzy try to hide from the gangsters. They decide to hide in full knight armor suits, which becomes a way to make multiple jokes: they make an attempt at being stealthy; they use their disguises to hide in plain sight, but one of them gets beaten-up by the leader of the bad guys who is taking out his frustration on what he thinks is an empty armor. |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: During a job interview, Éric and Ramzy tell the climax of the story, which is not showed on screen: Zavier dropped his bananas; the truck drove on it and skidded. This prevented the explosion. |

Shout-Out |
| | La Tour Montparnasse Infernale / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The title is a reference to The Towering Inferno (in French La Tour infernale). Éric tells Ramzy "Hasta la vista, bye bye", a malapropism for "Hasta la vista, baby", a catchphrase from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Stéphanie ironically tells Machin that he is as perceptive as Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. Ramzy calls Ming "San Ku Kaï", which is the French title of Message from Space: Galactic Wars, a spin-off series of the Japanese film Message from Space. |

comment |
No Name Given: Éric and Ramzy's characters are never named. When he talks to the police, Ramzy pretends that Éric is Michel, a philosopher. When Éric and Ramzy meet Stéphanie, Ramzy introduces himself as Peter Mac Calloway and Éric as François, then as Francis (Éric adds "Francis Huster", which is the name of a French actor). In both cases, it seems to be made up identities. |

The Fool: Éric and Ramzi are two stupid window washers. They do not understand what really happens. They do not realize that Stéphanie is the Big Bad. Highly-trained gangsters are after them to kill them, but they manage to survive and to ruin the gangsters' plan by sheer luck. |
