Synopsis
Acclaimed filmmaker Paul Greengrass (Bloody Sunday, The Bourne Supremacy) writes
and directs an unflinching drama that tells the story of the passengers and
crew, their families on the ground and the flight controllers who watched in
dawning horror as United Airlines Flight 93 became the fourth hijacked plane on
the day of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil: September 11, 2001.
UNITED 93 recreates the doomed trip in actual time, from takeoff to
hijacking to the realization by those onboard that their plane was part of a
coordinated attack unfolding on the ground beneath them. The film attempts to
understand the abject fear and courageous decisions of those who – over the
course of just 90 minutes – transformed from a random assembly of disconnected
strangers into bonded allies who confronted an unthinkable situation.
As 2006 marks the passing of five years since the epochal events of 9/11, the
time has come for contemporary cinema’s leading filmmakers to dramatically
investigate the events of that day, its causes and its consequences, and the
everyday individuals whose fates were forever altered while simply going about
their common workday rituals.
Greengrass, known for films such as Resurrected and Bloody Sunday, brings to
UNITED 93 a history of compassionate filmmaking that has explored some of
the most troubled incidents of recent world history – when politics turns to
violence, when beliefs slip into zealotry. As there is no perfect record of the
hijacking’s exact details and hostage retaliation, Greengrass takes a careful
hand and partially improvises the events with an ensemble cast of unknown actors
who were given studies of their UNITED 93 counterparts.
UNITED 93 intends to dignify the memory of those on the flight, the men
and women whose sacrifice remains one of the most heroic legacies of the
incomprehensible tragedies that unfolded on that autumn morning.
