Flight 93
Based on the now-notorious events of September 11, 2001, FLIGHT 93 tells the harrowing true story of United Airlines Flight 93 and the moments leading up to its crash. Shot in real time, the film shows how terrorists managed to commandeer the cockpit with the intention of turning a routine flight into a suicide mission. As the petrified passengers plan to fight back, the US military scrambles into action in a frantic bid to save the plane from the inevitable. On the surface, there isn’t a great deal to distinguish this film from Paul Greengrass' UNITED 93, which deals with the same subject matter. Both films make for uneasy viewing for obvious reasons, but the low-budget FLIGHT 93 is gripping in its own right.

Superb! & Very Watchable
Whenever I hear (or read) the words 'TV Movie' the word 'rubbish' usually springs to mind.But I have just finished watching Flight 93 (not to be confused with United 93) and I have to say it's better than some blockbusters I have watched.Made for the A&E Network in the USA by Fox (Type A&E Flight 93 into google to take you to the A&E website for the film & a preview) this was engrossing and passed the watch test.(How long does it take you to see what time is left).Although it does have the American cheese/gloss on the film (like most blockbusters)I have to say this is well worth a rent.

Heart thumping.....
On finding out this was the low budget version of the story of United flight 93, we really weren't expecting much....we were wrong.
It may not have had blockbuster appeal but it definitely had an effect on us. Never before have I felt so moved by a film. It was hard not to spend the entire film on the edge of your seat covered in tears with your heart thumping.
An excellent portrayal of what I imagine was a terrifying experience for everyone involved.
I think you did all those brave people very proud!! -
