What happened on United Airlines flight 93 before it crashed into the Pennsylvanian field on September 11th, 2001. This mesmerizing dramatisation takes us on board like we're passengers on the flight and don't know anything about our fellow hostages. We also witness how air traffic controllers and the military (many of the actual people play themselves) try to come to terms with the situation on that tragic day. This is an incredibly tense and unforgettable thriller which doesn't sentimentalise the events.
