Paul Greengrass directs this controversial drama, following the last moments of the passengers on United Flight 93 when it was hijacked by terrorists on the 11th of September, 2001. In mid-air, some of the passengers start hearing reports of other planes that have crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York. Realising that their plane has also been hijacked, the passengers decide to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to stop it reaching the target, potentially saving thousands of lives.
