well made and highly emotional

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2006)

World Trade Center is about two of the port authority police caught in the collapse of the world trade center. They arrive at the site not understanding the magnitude of the event and proceed to flee into an elevator shaft while the first tower collapses. They are almost buried alive, but wind up in the most protected place in the area. The remainder of the film keeps a very high emotional level while the stranded policemen and their families relive key life moments of their lives and struggle to remain optimistic. Some closely associated people's lives are also briefly shown, like the Marine who found them, and the Sheboygan Wisconsin FD that came to help and serve brats. Aaaah, Sheboygan brats. The question during the whole movie is can they survive. A well made movie with heavy emotional content.
