I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

9/11 is a date that I will always remember.While I am not a big news watcher, that morning everyone at my college was talking about what happened. My mom called to check on me and then got off the phone with me to continue calling other family and friends. I had class that day in a big lecture hall and instead of it being the usual packed, it was barely even 1/3 full. My professor lectured as normal, which I thought was weird that she didn’t say antyhing about what happened. A few hours later she emailed all her students and apologized, she had been in her office all day and missed the current events.

I do not have a connection at all to 9/11 other than being an American. I cannot even imagine what those who lived there or had loved ones there has experieneced.

Everyone has their own 9/11 Story.

An awe-inspiring film starring Charlie Sheen and Whoopi Goldberg titled 9/11, based on the original play, The Elevator, that centers on the events of September 11, 2001 is coming to theatres.

No matter who you are or where you were, that moment and the aftermath is indelibly etched in everyone’s mind.

9/11 opens in theaters on September 8 and features an all star cast including Luis Guzman(The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3), Gina Gershon (Showgirls), Wood Harris (Justified), Jacqueline Bisset (Dancing on the Edge (BBC), Welcome to New York), Olga Fonda (The Vampire Diaries) and Bruce Davison (X-Men).

In the World Trade Center, a billionaire sits in his attorney’s office awaiting a divorce hearing against his wife. In a west side apartment, a bike messenger kisses his 5-year old daughter and sings her “Happy Birthday” before leaving for work. A maintenance man gets dispatched to help a tenant with his lock. In an upper east side apartment, a young model musters the courage to break up with her sugar daddy. As random as random can be, these individuals step into a crowded World Trade Center elevator.

Wrapped up in their own world, they all ride silently hearing only the sound of the elevator giving notice of each floor. When the elevator stops on the 34th floor, it empties leaving only these five behind. Moments later … their world changes as the collision of a jet into the North Tower incapacitates the elevator.

With no understanding of what has happened and is happening around them, these fives are forced to band together and fight against all odds to escape from the impending horrific collapse. During these critical minutes, a story of courage, faith, and the will to live unfolds.

The film 9/11 is based on a true story and chronicles the lives of five average, everyday people who find themselves trapped in an elevator during the events of 9/11 in the World Trade Center.
