World Trade Center
This movie is based on the real life story of a group of policemen from Manhattan who go to help the rescue. John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno are the only survivors from their station after becoming trapped under the fallen towers. This movie captures not only the attack, but the hours following the collapse of the trade towers. Firefighters in the film were played by real FDNY members who served on 9/11.
United 93
Everybody knows about the planes that crashed into the world trade center and the pentagon. But not everyone knows about the fourth plane that was headed to the capital. Passengers on flight United 93 took back the plane, causing it to crash into a field before reaching its destination.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
This movie shows a younger point-of-view from the attack, featuring a 9-year-old boy who lost his father and wants to know why this happened, as did many other people hurt by this tragedy. As the boy’s mother, Linda Schell says, “It’s never going to make sense because it doesn’t.”
