Flight 93 tells the stirring story of the brave passengers and crew aboard hijacked United Airlines' Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.
We know that because Flight 93 was late in departing, its passengers learned from their cell phones en route that they were to be part of the fourth suicide attack. The World Trade Center and the Pentagon had already been hit.
These ordinary civilians chose to fight back against the terrorists. The courageous revolt ultimately led to the deadly crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania field, just 20 minutes flying time from Washington.
The passengers' actions likely prevented the plane from being used as a guided missile to destroy the US Capitol or the White House.
Based on facts from the public record, this heart-pounding movie includes the extraordinary communications between the doomed passengers and their loved ones on the ground. It covers the horrifying scenarios discussed by US Military and Government officials as they prepared to shoot down the plane - if necessary.
