When the Contemporary World Changed

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2007)

On September, 11th 2001, four United Airlines American domestic flights are hijacked by terrorists. After the collision of two planes against the World Trade Center and one against the Pentagon, the passengers and crew of United Flight 93 unsuccessfully decide to struggle against the four terrorist to take back the control of the airplane.
Last month I saw "Flight 93", a movie made for television that reconstitutes and dramatizes the moments of despair of the passengers of flight United 93 through the testimony of their phone calls to families and friends. "United 93" is about the same historic fact, but gives the big picture, showing how unprepared the authorities (flight controllers, military staff etc.) were for such an unexpected tragedy. The last moments in the plane are very tense and sad. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Vôo United 93" ("Flight United 93")
