Flight Thriller 93 is a disaster film produced and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film was directed by Paul Greenglass, starring JJ Johnson, Tris Gates, Lewis Samari, etc. It was released in the United States on April 28, 2006.

The film tells the story of the same day that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were hit, another "Flight 93" hijacked by terrorists failed to successfully hit the target due to the heroic struggle of the passengers, and crashed in Pennsylvania.

In the early morning of September 11, 2001, the autumn sky was very clear. A black civil aviation pilot kissed his sleeping wife goodbye and came to Newark International Airport in New Jersey to perform day-to-day flight missions. United Airlines' 93rd flight is coming to San Francisco.

After the hurried passengers boarded the plane one by one, the flight attendants began a warm and thoughtful routine. Except for the four al-Qaeda terrorists who mixed into the passengers, no one would have thought that this would be their life. The last journey. Shortly after flight 93 took off, the World Trade Center was hit by a suicidal terrorist attack by a civil airliner...

There are two reasons why I love Greengrass director Paul Greengrass so much. One is that he has made the new century action movie "Bourne Bourne 2 and 3", and the other reason is this film.

For this film, the crew has been preparing for several years and has done a lot of specific behind-the-scenes work. In order to obtain a rough and dignified picture, Director Green Grass used a handheld camera and other stylized techniques, and simultaneously provided real dialogue recordings of the flight on the day. There are a lot of silent shots in the film, and the rapid breathing of the passengers can even be clearly heard. The families of the victims actively cooperated with the filming of the film. They provided the crew with detailed information about the families of the victims, including the clothes they were wearing when the accident happened and what candies they used to eat when flying. It is this meticulous attitude towards details that makes this film enough to go down in history!

There are almost no professional actors in the whole film, and each character has its own real story. On that morning when we already knew the ending, watching those brave and real people walk towards their own destiny step by step, your heart will always be Dance with them.

The shaking shots, the anxiety that pervades the entire screen, the excellent scheduling ability of the green grass director and a large number of cuts in various real audio and video of the day, make the film create a strong sense of substitution, making your breath involuntarily and the plane on the plane. Crowd sync. Perhaps because the release time is still too close to 911, many people are reluctant to face this tragic reality, so the box office of this film is not good, but this is an absolutely underestimated work, this is a forever memorial book, Just to remember that morning, that group of brave people.
