Flight 93 The Flight That Fought Back was the first Flight 93 movie I ever saw. It continues from where The Hamburg Cell, a BBC production which was shown on HBO early in 2005 leaves off. The only two things that are strange is they don't show the hijackers entering the cockpit, the heroes pouring water over the hijacker that was guarding them, or one hijacker saying "Into the cockpit....", etc. They did the best they could since the flight data recorder of Flight 93 has not yet been released to the public, and I can't wait to hear them myself. There are and will be other movies about Flight 93 and I can't wait to see them. FOr some strange reason, we don't see Lisa Beamer commenting on this video. A lot of changes have taken place since the terrorist attacks.

This movie is an excellent way for all of us to never forget what happened on September 11th, 2001. We need to always remember all of those innocent people who died because of a madman. In The Flight That Fought Back we are brought into that day through news reports and interviews with friends and relatives of the passengers and crew of Flight 93. When cowards take over Flight 93 and plan to crash it into the White House or US Capital the best of America came forward to fight back: the crew and passengers of Flight 93. I can only hope that I will be as brave as those Americans if I'm ever confronted with this type of situation. God Bless you all for you are all true American Heroes and you will never be forgotten.

And to you Osama Bin Laden cowards may win battles they will not win the war.

The Flight That Fought Back is a tasteful dramatization of the events leading up to and following the hijacking of Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. Narrated by Keifer Sutherland and featuring many actual recordings and many other recreations of the passenger's attempt to regain control of the aircraft. Passenger families and associates interviews are frequent, to give a better understanding of the people involved.

The movie is very tasteful and tactful in it's recreation and interviews, and gives an excellent of the events that happened on that tragic Tuesday morning.

The movie is heavily stylized. Thanks to Sutherland's narration and the frequent multiple camera angles in one shot, not to mention the occasional clock at the bottom of the screen, the film occasionally seems like an episode of 24.

Overall a good watch and showcase of the first people to give their life fighting terrorism.

This docudrama is an important piece of American history which no one will ever forget. It brings us much closer to the events on flight 93, the plane which failed in its attempt to massacre the Capitol building in Washington D.C. due to the heroic efforts of passengers and crew. This is it's strength. Its weakness is the films attempt to well over-dramatize the aftermath of human feelings and emotions with pieces of dream-like sequences of the passengers while having voice-overs from family and friends. Just watching and listening to their honesty in their faces and eyes was needed here - nothing more. The writers thought that cutting away from family member interviews to heaven-like dramatizations would enhance the effect on us, then we end up just wondering why it's being "styled." Its blunders aside, the film educated me not only on this memorable day, but the strength of the human spirit. The mixture of the ordeal and family interviews, which help us to learn about these heroes, is wove together nicely. Despite the outcome of this horrific day and the terrors the world has endured, this docudrama is an important one, and one we should view with pride.
