Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2006)

Director Oliver Stone is known for great detail and not pulling punches. Only 20 people were pulled out of the rubble alive, after terrorist flew two planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. This movie is about #18 and #19. It started as an ordinary day for Port Authority officers John McGloughlin(Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno(Michael Pena)until all hell broke loose. The two officers were trapped in the rubble of September 11, 2001. The two made a pact to fight for survival. Images are intense, emotional and very disturbing. Maria Bello and Maggie Gyllenhaal play the wives of the two trapped officers. The cast also features: Jay Hernandez, Nick Damici, Stephen Dorff and Jude Ciccolella.
