Plot: Originally broadcast on CBS in March 2002, 9/11 is an extraordinary record of that fateful day in New York City. This one-of-a-kind documentary was originally conceived as a portrait of 21-year...( read more read more... )-old Tony Benetatos, a firefighter trainee at Manhattan's Duane Street firehouse, located seven blocks from the World Trade Center. By the time filming was finished, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet had captured history in the making, including the only image of the first jetliner striking Tower 1, and the only footage from within the tower as it collapsed. This is not, however, a film about the murderous nightmare of terrorism. It's the ultimate rite-of-passage drama, more immediate and meaningful than any fiction film could be, with Benetatos and his supportive colleagues emerging as heroes of the first order. Sensitively narrated by codirector and fellow firefighter James Hanlon, 9/11 will endure forever as a tribute to those, living and dead, who witnessed hell on that sunny Tuesday morning. --Jeff Shannon

    The first documentary of 9/11 made with the amazing 1st-person footage from the two French film makers who were there on that day.

    A tremendous blow once again, but I don't think we should rate documentaries such as this one. Can you really count how good a film is when we're dealing with human lives? Can you put a 5-star rating on life? I don't think so.

    These two French filmmakers were filming a documentary on NYC firefighters on the actual day the WTC collapsed!
    My husband was a Baltimore City firefighter for 32 years and says no other documentary on the subject will compare!

    If you see ANY 9/11 film...this is the one you should see. This film started as a documentary by two French filmmakers on one of the 'probies' of the FDNY. This film contains the only footage of the FIRST plane hitting the towers, then rides along with the first FDNY unit on the scene INSIDE the towers. It is gripping, terrifying, and very sad, and we have made a pilgrimage to watch it on the anniversary every year. Do NOT miss this film

    A very touching movie, it had the scariest sound i have ever heard, and i have never heard it before or since, it was the sound of someone falling a hundred stories head first, it was so horrific this movie is one of the few that deserved an MA at least im not sure what it was rated..

    No thanks...I couldn't tear my eyes away from the news coverage when this terrible event occurred. I really couldn't stomach watching it again with that same helpless feeling.

    Well it's the story of 9/11. It's not a movie movie but a documentary so it's not so much entertaining as informative.

    Firefighters, doctors, nurses and other forms of help really do need praise. They do so much to help people through any event in their lives.

    I'm pretty sure I saw this as it happened. Like, on the news. And interestingly, bits and pieces of the story dropped off as time went on. Like other bombs going off and such. Anywayzzz...

    OMG. i finally saw this film and it's mind boggling! it's so moving, its just unbelievable, seeing the men that were there trying to find people, digging constantly, even after weeks of nothing, they never stopped looking. it's films like this one that make me admire the people of america, i've never seen anyone rally round like that before, people were donating practically all their belongings. what an truly amazing scene, i have the utmost respect for those men. How lucky were the two directors to be able to capture everything first hannd to keep as a reminder to everyone. RIP all those that were given to heaven early. xx

    As the best first hand account of those tragic events, this is worth viewing for those interested. One for the archives of history.

    I've decided to never watch any of the films made about September 11th. We all had to live through it, it was horrifying, I don't need to go to that tragic place in my free time. Essentially every adult alive today has a fairly clear recollection of the events of 9/11, and it's a consensus that it was a awful, sad, terrible thing. People who keep making films about 9/11 are essentially preaching to the choir.
