“I think it’s too easy for people to forget. And it’s not too soon. And I… It’s disturbing to me when I hear our fellow countrymen say, “How dare you? It’s too soon.” Well, you know what? It’s never going to be soon enough. And we have an obligation to continue to pass this on for generations to come.” Lisa – Richard Guadagno’s cousin
United 93 is a masterful film by Paul Greengrass about the harrowing events on the doomed airliner and the brave souls that fought back in the face of adversity.
Everyone should see this film to be reminded of the events of 9/11, but should also be prepared for the torrent of emotions that is unleashed with this film.
Before beginning the film’s plot description, I only think it proper to list the names of the fallen of United 93 and the actors who portray them:
Crew:
Flight 93 takes off
On September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, and United Airlines Flight 93 were hijacked by Muslim extremist terrorists. The plan was to fly two planes into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and the last into the White House or United States Capitol.

Finally, there’s a 2 minute preview for the Academy Award winning documentary Twin Towers which is about two brothers on the scene of the World Trade Center. Universal has also issued a 2 Disc Limited edition. It has the film in widescreen, the features above, but adds a second disc.
Boarding Flight 93
United 93 is a well made and emotionally moving film. It serves as a testament of the courage of those that fought back on the doomed airliner and is a story that needs to be told, as the families of those lost wish it to be.Amazon . As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD database for more inforation.
