The first film about September 11 – Flight 93 – is now in production in the UK.

Flight 93 was the fourth plane hijacked by terrorists on which passengers fought back. Thanks to their efforts the plane was not crashed into its intended target, but into an empty field.

Paul Greengrass, director of Bloody Sunday and The Bourne Supremacy, is making a film tracing the events in real time. It is based on black box recordings from the plane and the passenger's mobile phone calls.

The movie is being produced at Pinewood film using replica sections of a United Airlines Boeing 757.
