Movie: World Trade Center
Review: World Trade Center is their story, told through the eyes of Jimeno, McLoughlin and their families. World Trade Center is very simply a tale of hope, courage and survival on one of America’s darkest days.
The film starts with the characters going through the mundane motions of preparing for work, lining up for duty, and then heading out on patrol. From there the events of 9/11 unfold with the officers rushing to the Twin Towers. Focus shifts from outside of the Towers to the inside, swiftly narrowing the story to a small group of officers led by Sergeant McLoughlin (played by Nicolas Cage).
Of course the officers don’t have a grasp on the full picture and, without knowing just how bad things will ultimately become, set out gathering equipment for a rescue operation that never has time to materialize. They get no further than the concourse level when the Tower falls. McLoughlin and Jimeno (Michael Pena) become pinned 20 feet below the surface under piles of metal, rubble and some burning rubble. Very injured, the men spend hours keeping each other awake as their families cling to the hope they’ll somehow make it out alive. Leon
