Plot[edit]

Jeffrey Cage is working in the World Trade Center (WTC) on September 11, 2001. He arrives at the North Tower with his wife Eve to sign divorce papers and are in the elevator when American Airlines Flight 11 crashes into the building, stopping the elevator. Also in the elevator is Eddie, a maintenance man; Tina, a woman who has come to the WTC to break up with her wealthy lover; and Michael, a delivery man. They try to open the elevator doors to escape but are unable to do so.

Metzie is a dispatcher who communicates with the people stuck inside the elevator. She tells them that they only have one choice; to break the elevator door open and send the maintenance man to the power room to rewire the elevator back. The group inside the elevator begin to come up with plans to pry the door open. At first, they use their hands but it is stuck too tightly, then they try to open the emergency shaft above but it can only be opened from the outside.

Metzie tells the group that the firefighters cannot make it to the top floor and they must unbolt the locking mechanism to open the doors. Types of marlboro menthol cigarettes. Finally, they pry open the elevator, unlock the locking mechanism and break through a block of drywall into a janitor's room; only Eve gets out before the elevator's breaking cables make it impossible for the others to escape. Jeffrey tells Eve that he loves her and promises to meet in the lobby before everyone in the elevator lie on their backs and brace for impact as the elevator begins falling. The elevator speeds down to the lobby level, but everyone survives. Eve finds a firefighter to help her open the elevator door and everyone gets out except Jeffrey, who is trapped in the elevator as it falls lower. The firefighter goes on top of the elevator, opens the emergency shaft, and reaches out to Jeffrey. Tragically Jeffrey and the firefighter are killed when the tower collapses.

Kimber Meyers of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review, saying '9/11 trades on the emotional weight of its namesake day, manipulating audiences into feelings that have nothing to do with the mess that is actually on screen.'^[10] In an equally unfavorable review, Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter noted that 9/11 'proves so exploitative that its end credits' dedication to the victims and first responders feels tawdry'.^[11]Jezebel reviewer Rich Juzwiak wrote that although the film fades out with the words 'Never Forget' written on the screen, 'I won't, 9/11, but you've done your damnedest to make me want to.'^[12]

Alonso Duralde of TheWrap praised the performances of Gina Gershon and Jacqueline Bisset and wrote: 'Sixteen years later, 9/11 remains too touchy a subject for a movie as clumsy as 9/11 to get entirely right. And even if the film relies too much on the real-life horror of the actual event to loan it some gravitas, the performances touch the emotions honestly and deservedly.'^[13]

Sheen's history with the 9/11 Truth movement[edit]

In 2006, Sheen called in to the far-rightconspiracy theorist radio program hosted by Alex Jones to voice his support to the then-growing 9/11 Truth movement. Sheen suggested that the Twin Towers had been destroyed due to a controlled demolition, which was then followed by a cover-up by the US government.^[14] He went on to state: 'It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75% of their targets -- that feels like a conspiracy theory.'^[15][16] In 2006, Sheen spoke at a 9/11 truther convention in Los Angeles with Alex Jones, and later reaffirmed his beliefs about the conspiracy on Jimmy Kimmel Live!^[15]

When Sheen was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter in September 2017, he reaffirmed his belief in the 9/11 truther movement, remarking, 'I was not just coming up with stuff about 9/11. I was parroting those a lot smarter and a lot more experienced than myself, who had very similar questions. Not to put this behind us because, as brilliantly written, we must 'never forget,' but there are still a couple of things just rooted in simple physics that beg some measure of inquiry.'^[14]
