After the success of The Poseidon Adventure, bigger stars wanted a piece of the genre. Whereas Poseidon was mostly has beens at the end of their careers (with the obvious exception of Gene Hackman), Inferno had mostly A list stars. They didn't elevate the material but I'm sure they all got nice paychecks.
The film is fairly suspenseful with good special effects, especially for its time.
The film also has a few campy moments of comic relief such as O. J. Simpson risking his life to save a cat and Jennifer Jones (with a terrible facelift) falling out of an exterior elevator and bouncing off the building. (She must have really pissed someone off during production.)
