About this product

Product Information

The events of September 11 left an indelible mark on most Americans, and certainly on those in the New York City area. Yet as fresh as the images seem, it's easy to forget the actual grit, sacrifice, and uncertainty of that day. Director Oliver Stone captures the essence of 9/11 by focusing on the true story of two Port Authority Police Department officers who were trapped beneath the wreckage of the fallen World Trade Center.Veteran officer Sergeant John McLoughlin (Nicholas Cage) and his team, including rookie Will Jimeno (Michael Pena) are gathering equipment to enter the burning Twin Towers when the concourse comes crashing down around them. Twenty feet below the surface, pinned by debris and unable to reach anyone by radio, the officers must rely on their own will--and on each other--to survive. Above ground, their families watch the towers fall, uncertain whether or not McLoughlin and Jimeno are there, since they are normally assigned to the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Like so many that day, Donna McLoughlin (Maria Bello) and Allison Jimeno (Maggie Gyllenhaal) wait for news at home surrounded by their families, fearing the worst and praying for the best. Stone's film depicts the horror and heartbreak of the victims, survivors, and their families with an understated, subtle touch. From the ash and dust covering everyone and everything to the dazed expressions of the workers leaving the towers to the steaming twisted metal remains of the World Trade Center, attention to detail is exceedingly realistic. Rather than being political or sensationalistic, this is a film about everyday heroes--men and women doing their best in the face of an unspeakable event. It may be just one story of many from September 11, but it represents the efforts, emotions, and reactions of so many on that fateful day.

  • World Trade Center is depicting a horrible day in history that still is emotionally distressing.

    World Trade Center with Nicholas Cage and supporting actors & actresses show another look into that horrible day on Sept. 11, 2001. The movie is still so emotionally distressing to go through with these two men that you feel as trapped in the building as they are. The special features has facts added content of deleted scenes and actual facts from that day of so many people's death. This is still well worth watching 15 years later. This is a day that our future generations should be told about.

  • Really good story

    Such an awesome miracle. This movie was really good, sure the acting was okay at times and it seemed like a low budget movie at times but really it was spot on especially considering they were trying to reenact the most horrible attack on our soil. May God bless us all and keep us safe!

  • Perfectly named!

    It was a great re-enactment of such a horrible event in our history and I was rendered speechless for most of the movie. It pulls you right into the depiction of the movie as if those characters are someone you might know.
