Although al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners on September 11, 2001, only three reached their intended targets. United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 that departed late from Newark... read more read more... to San Francisco, crash-landed near Pittsburgh instead of becoming a weapon against the White House or the United States Capitol. This speculative cable-TV docudrama imagines how the flight might have played out for the flight's passengers, who are believed to have risen up against their hijackers after being alerted to the other terrorist attacks via cell phone. Unfolding in more or less real time, Flight 93 depicts the hijacking from the viewpoints of those on the flight and those on the ground. Tom Burnett (Jeffrey Nordling), Mark Bingham (Ty Olsson), Todd Beamer (Brennan Elliott), and many of the flight's other, posthumously famous passengers are portrayed, as are their families, law-enforcement agents, air-traffic controllers, United employees, and cell-phone company personnel. Flight 93 originally aired in January 2006 on the A&E cable network, several months after the Discovery Channel debuted its documentary The Flight That Fought Back and several months before the feature film United 93 premiered. ~ Brian J.

    A good film that relives the events of the flight 93.

    Done super-well. A better movie then United 93, especially, if your looking more into the effect on our lives, or family members lifes, rather then just the timelined events.

    I thought this was a hell of alot better then united 93, which subsequently was released at the same time, I found this version way more intense.

    This was brilliant. An insight into the fear they must have felt.

    Extremely sad movie, but it was very empowering to see how a few people were willing to put their lives on the line for so many more.

    Very entertaining assuming that was what happened on the flight. Artistic freedoms don't have any boundaries not even with this subject matter.

    I personally believe the story within the plane did not happen as it was told in the movie.

    This film panders to those who wish to ma... read moreke "heroes" out of the victims. It was a horrible day, a horrible time in world history, and is still something we must deal with but, I repeat, this is nothing more than a story based on assumptions directed to appease the masses... a tad propagandistic.

    This one will make you get involved. Of course its a depiction of the 9/11 attacks and may be intrusive but this film is an excllent interpretation

    A story of real Americans, and how they responded to what (for them) was an all but hopeless situation. Because of their courage, who knows how many other lives were saved.

    It is simply too bad that so many people in this country have forgotten the events of that day, and bo... read moreught into the lies of the leftist, and are bowwing and worshiping at the feet of the appeaser and chief currently running things Yes, I am talking about that socialist B.H.O..

    And before you accuse me of racism, I would have voted for Alan Keyes in a nano-second had I been given the opportunity.

    I watched this with trepidation and can only say that it was an exemplary re-telling of the experience. Amazing. The subject matter is, of course, extremely troubling -- this isn't for everyone.

    I wish I wouldn't have watched this. I didnt' feel it was so much as a tribute but reliving the tragedy. Just sad.

Tense made-for-TV movie about Sept.11 skyjacking. Full Review

Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

The film is put together for us to watch what happens, not to participate with them. Full Review

Flight 93 is most certainly destined to be overshadowed by United 93, but this should not diminish what Markle and company have done here. Full Review

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena

Apesar de se entregar ao melodrama em um ou outro momento, de modo geral consegue manter o foco da narrativa e conferir um tom de verossimilhança aos acontecimentos.
