What Parents Need to Know
About Flight 93: The Movie
Parents need to know that this is not the theatrical United 93 motion picture but a less-hyped cable-TV movie telling the same story of the ill-fated but heroic passengers of a September 11 plane commandeered by terrorists. Unlike the other film, this does not drop F-bombs of mass destruction, but there is still considerable intensity and tragedy, especially in the passengers and their families realizing that death is inevitable. There is some violence, as the terrorists take over the aircraft with knives and threats of a bomb.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the way that the passengers, even in the dawning realization that there was no escape, rallied and thwarted the terrorists' goal of dropping Flight 93 on Washington D.C. This is a complex and loaded topic, dealing with self-sacrifice and mortality; expect kids to have a lot of questions. Ask teens with memories of September 11 and the wall-to-wall news coverage whether they thought this story needed to be told, and whether it satisfied anything they did not know or feel before. With older and more movie-savvy kids, you can talk about how the movie compared with other, vintage movies about real-life military attacks on the innocent, from flag-waving propaganda movies after Pearl Harbor to a spate of celebratory TV movies in the '70s after Israeli troops successfully freed terrorist hostages at Entebbe Airport. On another level, this movie and its theatrical twin are not like those at all. Does that make them more successful as tributes, or just another form of propaganda?

A must see movie about nobility and doing whats right at any cost
I dont care about the content. This is an emotional re-account of the terrible events that took place on 9-11. After learning what has happened already, and their soon to be fate, they all decide to take action to stop the terrorists. Its emotional watching them making final calls to their loved ones. They break into the cock pit. Their is terroristic threateing which a kid will either not understand, or take it in a way where they get freaked out (so make sure your kid knows and understands what happened and why. In the end, they succede in making the plane miss the target by stalling the terrorists long enough and they crash into the feild (the crash is not shown thank goodnes.) It is a good way to remember the many lives lost on 9-11.

Startling
I thought this was surprisingly good. Tense, Sad, and very, very scary. Not in a horror movie way; you have to think about what's going on and the fact that this really happened. Although the DVD version was rated PG13, {this movie was made for A&E}when they played it on tv as TVPGV (violence). strange that a MADE-FOR-TV-MOVIE would have a different rating then that on tv. Overall:Great,not excellent, but great. worth the short time it takes up.

Some great parts, and others where you can tell it's made for tv
But despite its faults that it suffers from being made directly for tv, it still manages to impact you and make you just sit in quiet at the end of the film. Acting was alright, but the black-haired girl did the best job, and her conversations with her mom were the most moving of the calls to family. While I certainly can't suggest this over WTC or United 93, I still must say that for those who want a less intense memory of 9/11, this is the one to go with.
