World Trade Center

September 11th 2001, was the day of the terrorist attacks in New York City and other geographical points in the USA. The movie focus on the attacks to the World Trade Center towers, when two airplanes were hijacked and crashed on them that day in the morning. John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage), was one of the police officers from the NYPD, who set one team to get into one of the towers and try to help to evacuate the building, among other crews of firemen and paramedics. Nevertheless, the collapse of the two towers took by surprise the team formed by 5 men and lead by McLoughlin, becoming trapped under the debris. McLoughlin and his team-mate Will (Michael Pe?a) are about to begin a traumatic period of time, unable to move a finger, feeling a killing thirst, with dangerous fires burning their bodies, dust and rubbles falling on their faces and the worst: unable to know whether some rescue team would come and spots them. Outside things aren't going well either. McLoughlin's wife (Maria Bello), with 5 children, is suffering watching on TV all the tragedy, aware of the fact that her husband was inside the building. Meanwhile, Will's pregnant wife (Maggie Gyllenhaal), finds herself passing through the same hell, wanting to know some news about her husband. Time is running for John and Will, whilst both of them are remembering their most happy days with their families, fearing that if they close their eyes for sleep, could be the last time.
