They would not go down without a fight.

United 93 is a fitting tribute to those who died on that plane during the September 11th hijackings. Flight 93 was the only plane of the four hijacked that day that didn't reach its target (possibly the Capitol or the White House) Director Paul Greengrass does an excellent job in this film that tells the true story of the plane and the brave passengers who decided to fight and try to take control from the terrorists. The movie has a "real time" feel to it so it makes you feel as if your on board yourself, because of runway traffic, 93 was the last of the 4 jets to take off. The passengers on board find out about the World Trade Center and Pentagon from their cell phones when they talk to their family and friends and they realize its a suicide mission so they decide to try and stop the terrorists. The actors in the movie are virtual unknowns and a majority of the ground control (particularly FAA commander Bob Sliney) play themselves which is fitting because they saw the tragedy up close. The hardest part of the film is watching these heroes as they say goodbye to their loved ones on their phones before they try to take over the plane. United 93 is a emotional and powerful story of what happened that awful day and the true story of the men and women who would not go down without a fight.
