On September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93 is hijacked, and Paul Greengrass follows the unfolding crisis in near real time from the cabin to air traffic control rooms and military command centers. Rather than centering on a single hero, the film stays with passengers, crew, and officials as fragments of information slowly connect on the ground. Khalid Abdalla is among the hijackers, while Ben Sliney appears as himself as the wider response struggles to understand what is happening. The ensemble approach keeps the focus on procedure, confusion, and the mounting stakes of the morning.
