"City on Fire" (シティ・オン・ファイア), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1979, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA177
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1979 for the Canadian disaster thriller City on Fire (1979), starring Barry Newman, Susan Clark, Leslie Nielsen, Henry Fonda, Ava Gardner, Shelley Winters, and James Franciscus. A ruptured refinery line ignites a metropolis, trapping thousands and forcing first-responders and citizens into a desperate fight for survival.
Design
Blazing, panoramic illustration signed “M. Iwatamoto” at lower right: a firestorm funnels through downtown as helicopters dip into smoke and fire crews battle an inferno that swallows towers and avenues. Vignette portraits of the star cast run along the top banner, while heroic figures of Newman and Clark anchor the foreground. The bold katakana title 「シティ・オン・ファイア」 stretches across the base with the English logo CITY ON FIRE inset at right—pure late-’70s catastrophe-cinema spectacle.
