Answer 1

United Airlines Flight 93

Starring Conner Lyons as Todd Beamer

Plot

The movie opens early on the morning of September 11,2001 with First Officer LeRoy Homer Jr. (Joe Thomas) dressing up and leaving for work and then hijackers Ahmed al-Nami and al-Haznawi (Andy Cuddy, Ben Oliver), United 93's skyline ringleader Ziad Jarrah (Tom Tucson) and Saeed al-Ghamdi (Jay Johnson) shaving inside their hotel bedroom and leaving for Newark International Airport. At the airport,the passengers and the crew board United Airlines Flight 93 along with the hijackers. Shortly after boarding, Flight 93 is set on for a half-hour delay because of high volume of traffic. The other three hijacked flights take off.

Air traffic controllers monitoring all current flights notice American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767,has taken a southern turn toward New York City and Mohamed Atta (voice from Sean Flynn) makes a suspicious threatening transmission in the flight deck. Shortly afterwards, Flight 11 descends into Lower Manhattan and crashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, though air traffic controllers aren't aware of it. After Flight 11 crashed, United Airlines Flight 175 begins to descend and turn into New York City as well. Air traffic controllers then begin realizing that they are dealing with a hijacking. American Airlines Flight 77 is also hijacked. The traffic controllers alert the United States Air Force, who debate whether or not to shoot down all suspected hijacked flights. The air traffic controllers and the Air Force then watch as Flight 175 crashes into the South Tower of the WTC on live television, reported by CNN.

Word of the planes that hit the World Trade Center reaches Flight 93,and the terrorists then decide to begin the hijacking. After Ahmed al-Haznawi assembles a fake bomb out of clay and plastic during breakfast, the other three hijackers wrestle their way into the cockpit and overpower the pilots. By this time, Flight 77 has crashed and created a huge fireball at the Pentagon. Footage of the South Tower collapsing is also seen on TV at the home of one of the victims' family.

To the growing consternation of Ben Sliney (Mike Skully) and his staff, coordination with the Air Force is haphazard and there are not enough planes ready, or armed, to respond to an in-air hijacking. Sliney ultimately decides to shut down all airspace in the United States and ground every flight.

The hijackers do not prevent the people from making despirate phone calls through the on-board system. After hearing about the planes crashed into the WTC and the Pentagon,the passengers and crew understand that if they do nothing to defend themselves, they will also die, and eventually decide to elect to storm into the cockpit to retake the airplane.The passengers make one last set of phone calls to friends and family, in which they declare their intentions. The remaining crew assemble what makeshift weapons they can:cutlery,wine bottles,a fire extinguisher and hot water.

Learning that one of the passengers can fly a plane (although he has never flown a commercial aircraft before in his life), the group pin their hopes in his being able to at least control the plane.They debate whether the bomb is real or fake before starting their counter-attack by overpowering Saeed al-Ghamdi. He is killed by the passengers with a bash to the head with a hot water container after boiling water is thrown at him. Having seen this, Ahmed al-Nami, Jarrah and Ahmed al-Haznawi prepare for invasion by the passengers and debate whether to take the flight down.

Ziad Jarrah shakes the plane violently to throw the passengers off balance, but nonetheless they manage to smash the door with the food cart. As the passengers wrestle with two hijackers to get into the cockpit, the plane goes into an angled nosedive towards the ground and the passengers finally gain entrance into the cockpit. The plane misses a private propeller plane and a barn,before rolling over onto it's back.The crash is not seen, instead a cloud of smoke and the crash crater are seen. Footage of the North Tower collapsing is shown on TV as the friends and family of the victims are seen in their houses comforting each other.

The crash site is then seen as time moves on and the ground where the plane crashed recovers. When the crash crater is no longer visible some writing appears on the screen. It says,''On September 11,2001,United Airlines Flight 93 was one of the four planes hijacked in midair. Three planes succeeded in hitting their targets. With great courage and resolve, the passengers and crew of Flight 93 prevented their plane from reaching it's likely target, the White House or the U.S. Capitol Building. This movie is dedicated to the passengers and the crew of Flight 93,and to their families.''The names of the passengers and crew of Flight 93 then appear on screen before the movie closes.
