Product Description

"World Trade Center is a film about heroism and the best in all of us," raves Good Morning Americas Joel Siegel. Academy Award winner, Nicolas Cage stars in the unforgettable true story of the courageous rescue and survival of two Port Authority policemen who were trapped in the rubble on September 11, 2001 after they volunteered to go in and help. Academy Award winning director, Oliver Stone reveals an intimate look at the events of the day as seen through the eyes of the survivors, their families and their rescuers

Amazon.com

Regardless of whether it was "too early" in 2006 to dramatize the events of September 11th, 2001, World Trade Center succeeds as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those who served at "ground zero" in the wake of terrorist attacks on the WTC's twin towers in New York City. Removed from the politics of war and terrorism (yet still, like all films, inherently political in expressing its point of view), Oliver Stone's potent drama focuses on the nightmarish ordeal, and subsequent rescue, of Port Authority policemen John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Peña), who were buried deeply within the rubble of the WTC after the twin towers collapsed. Granted, it's only the film's historical context that distinguishes it from any other dramatic rescue story, but in focusing on the goodness of humanity in response to the evil of terrorists who remain unnamed and off-screen, Stone and first-time screenwriter Andrea Berloff create an emotional context as powerful as anything Stone has directed since Platoon. Even as he resorts to some questionable tactics typically lacking in subtlety, Stone refrains from much of the blunt-force filmmaking that has made him a critical punching bag, rising to this challenging occasion with a heartfelt and deeply American portrait of unity personal, familial, and national. Flaws and all, World Trade Center serves an honorable purpose, reminding us all that for those fleeting days in September 2001, America showed its best face to a sympathetic world. --Jeff Shannon

A real tear jerker

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

Based on a true story.
It's uncomfortable to watch this film and be reminded of the unforgettable tragedy of 9/11. But it's well done, and it focuses on the good people who responded. As we see in the end credits, nearly 3,000 people died, over 300 of whom were firefighters, cops, and Port Authority employees. Sadly, only 20 people were pulled out alive.

You would think an Oliver Stone movie about 9/11 would be over-the-top conspiracy stuff like _JFK_ and _Nixon_.
But this is a film that focuses on people and their families and guarantees tears. Maybe it's overly sentimental, but didn't we all cry when 9/11 happened?

Nicholas Cage and Michael Pena turn in great performances as two Port Authority cops who are trying to help evacuate the North Tower. When the building collapses, they are buried in the rubble. Michael Shannon is also excellent as a U.S. Marine who feels a calling to help in the rescue efforts and discovers the two cops.

I was a newspaper editor in 2001, and I personally knew and interviewed two of the heroic New York firemen who spent the most hours at ground zero, trying to dig out survivors. But most of the people they dug out were dead.. Both of these young men eventually became disabled with lung disease, and I'm not sure if they're still alive today.

Even though I went through a few tissues watching this film, my ultimate reaction was anger toward the heartless terrorists who did this. A Wisconsin police officer in the film who volunteers to help with the recovery calls them "bastards." That says it all.

More than two hours of intense drama

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

From the first ten minutes until the end, I didn't have a normal breath. Then had to walk around quietly for a time. So many of us lived it again. The years have not stayed the pain and anger. Perhaps movies like these are a cartharsis, a purging of the intensity of the shock and all that went with it.
Very well done.... from the directing to the acting and all the talent and labor of each person involved in this movie. Thanks, Amazon for offering this.

More than I expected

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

I found this to be a very powerful and riveting movie.
I had feared it was just another 'disaster movie',
No. It is not just another disaster movie. I hadn't realized until after I had watched it that it was an Oliver Stone movie.
As with some of his other movies, it puts you 'in the moment' there with the characters, and I feel it captures as close to the reality as could be accomplished for the big screen.
I had to read some of the one star reviews after watching the movie, and each that I read was because the customer either had purchased the DVD and it didn't play, or had paid for it yet couldn't watch it.
None of those I read referred to the movie itself, but I didn't read them all, I don't think.

Absolute crap

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I almost universally like Nicolas Cage movies, but this was crap. Sure, many people think Cage is a bad actor, I happen to think he's pretty good, but this was so poorly done I can't even believe it was an Oliver Stone movie. Then again, Oliver Stone did 'The Doors' too, where he made Morrison seem like a braindead drunk. Maybe Stone just isn't that good.

Besides Cage, there were a couple other familiar faces who weren't too bad, but most of the cast was either unknown are not memorable because they aren't good enough actors to leave an imprint. The movie starts out at a mid-pace, and then 20 minutes in it drops to a dead crawl. After that it's all over the board. The flow is inconsistent, and the scene arrangement seems out of order half the time.

Anyway, just wait until you see the pregnant woman and who her partner is. Out of all the millions of normal couples in New York, they highlight this? So there it is, another thing to not like about this Cage movie. What a shame.

You should pass this one up unless you are very easily distracted.

Incredible story, poorly told

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

My rating obviously doesn't reflect actual history, but it reflects the way this movie grazed over it. Thankfully there wasn't much of the usual Hollywood propaganda in here. Actually, certain aspects were handled well, even the moral outrage that the terrorist attack really was, which surprised me. I couldn't believe how many key moments were skipped over, though. They didn't even show the moment the two guys were finally dislodged from under the wreckage! A poor sense of drama and timing pervaded throughout, and those are the things that make or break a movie. The focus, pacing, and flow were muddled, bizarre, and not in ways that simply reflected the events of that day. It started out fairly well, but quickly dropped the ball by dissipating itself in far too many directions, with lots of little scenes thrown in that went nowhere.

This movie is so riveting.....

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

Like most Americans, I often struggle with this event in history, having watched it that morning on TV. Feeling completely helpless and unable to do anything, other than to pray for the lives that were being affected. This movie captures the drama that unfolded in how families were being ripped apart, some forever. To see what some of these men went through in the real footage used in the film, it's heart breaking. But, having said this, this movie captures the dignity of two brave men that were there just doing what they loved best; rushing into harms way when others would not. The acting is riveting, the scenes are so real. The chirps of the pagers after the towers fell....all of it in this movie brings it back to life, even 16 years later. This movie garnering a 6.0/10 on the movie review average does nothing to relate the wonderful work in this movie, the directing, the actors, all of it. It's compelling to watch and pulls at your heart. In my mind, it's one of the best movies from 2006. A movie that was well done, a story that was well told.

Flawed, but well worth watching

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is, in some ways, an excellent film. But it also has some issues.

The story of two Port Authority policemen trapped in the rubble of the titular World Trade Center is certainly compelling. Indeed, I came to this movie from the excellent Only Plane In The Sky, a book which includes firsthand accounts from the real life protagonists depicted in this film.

But it's also cinematically challenging, as the two key characters are trapped and stationary for a large chunk of the movie, which - whilst handled as well as one might hope it could be - is dramatically somewhat flat or turgid.

To get around this we flit back and forth between the the trapped cops and their friends and family. Whilst Nicolas Cage and Michael Peña are strong as the two trapped and injured men, some of those cast as their family were, for me, less succesful.

And there are also some issues, as far as I'm concerned, with America's whole view of these momentous events. The disconnect between American foreign policy and the 'chickens coming home to roost' aspects of 9/11 are perfectly summed up in a quote from the above mentioned book, in which someone says words to the effect of, 'this sort of thing is supposed to happen in the Middle East, not here'!

As a result of this Ameri-centric blind-spot, an air of injured and affronted innocence dominates the film, and is a kind of corollary to the implicit 'NIMBY' parochialism so often displayed by the people of hubristic imperialist powers.

And in a similar manner, it's annoying that the character of the ex-Marine rescuer who locates our two wounded warriors - an African American - is portrayed by a white actor (Michael Shannon as Dave Carnes). The film-makers claimed they didn't know! That seems fairly implausible - surely they did some research? - and shockingly inept, being both rather insensitive and unfortunate.

Nevertheless, this is a powerful movie about an epoch-making day, and the very human fall-out of history in the making. Flawed, yes, but still well worth watching.

9/11 2001 the day the world saw horror, this film attempts to show something else and succeeds in epic scale. SEE IT.

This is simply one of those films that everyone must see at all costs no matter what. The story is well known (and true) and demands to be heard (and seen). What better man for the job than Oliver Stone. His is a film that effects and affects in equal measure. The quiet moments (ie with the always delightful and lovely Maggie Gyllenhaal and the just as luminous (and that in of itself is quite the accomplishment given the nature of the film) and dependable Maria Bello, as the wives at home watching the horror evolve on telly) are as powerful as the action notes (tho this is first and foremost a drama film and not an action picture) which are truly heart rending. Nicolas Cage is always, Wicker Man remake aside, the go to guy for real acting gusto and prowess but here it's Michael Pena who delivers in spades what he started in Crash. Beware this film WILL make you cry. Essential viewing tho not easy to watch. A harrowing film.

Ein Film über Mut, Familie und Hoffnung

Reviewed in Germany on March 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

Es ist echt erschreckend wie verblödet und oberflächlich unsere Gesellschaft geworden ist. Also wenn jemand schreibt ,dass der Film am Thema vorbei spielt , dann ist der jenige offenbar zu dämlich , sich den Text auf der Rückseite der DVD durch zu lesen . Da steht nämlich ganz deutlich , dass die Geschichte aus der Sichtweise zweier Polizisten erzählt wird, die beim Versuch Menschen zu evakuieren verschüttet werden. Und wärend sie ums Überleben kämpfen, sprechen Sie sich gegenseitig Mut zu. Es geht hier nicht um die Hintergründe des Terror Anschlags. Und dieser Film ist auch keineswegs langweilig, sondern eher beklemmend. Aber natürlich nur für die Menschen, die in der Lage sind, sich in die Geschichte hinein zu fühlen. Wenn man sich den Kernschrott durchliest den die meisten hier verzapft haben, dann wird einem klar das diese Menschen ein extremes Deutungsproblem haben und 0 Empathie.

This was such an amazing film, it really re created what happened that day. The scenery is so realistic that you end up forgetting you are watching a film. The debris field of when the Twin Towers fell was spot on in the film, it was like it was filmed on the day 9/11 happened.Spot on and so emotionally charged.

I don't know if it's because we have become conditioned to wanting or indeed, demanding violence and shock/horror with our entertainment today but the film did not hit the right buttons for me. Yes, Nicholas Cage is always good, at least for me in whatever he does. That being said, I guess it was a difficult film to make with so many viewpoints and opinions having to be brought into play. What must have been nigh on impossible was how to communicate the feelings and emotions of such an horrific event. What did come through and that almost perfectly was the scenes where the families of Nicholas Cage and his buddy were in that place of not knowing one way or the other. The tension and anxiety was quite tangible, and if this was meant to adequately convey how thousands must have been feeling at the time, then the director certainly scored a hit.

The rescue from such a horrific environment was handled well, with the marines ALMOST missing the pipe banging and shouting from beneath them..the horror of being missed also came across very well. The film would have ended up being hours long if all the issues that I wanted to see incorporated had been covered. Is that a criticism? No far from it. Would I recommend the film? Certainly, but don't pitch your expectations too high and you will be pleasantly suprised. Life from almost certain death? Yes, just a great pity more didn't make it.
