 Plane gets hijacked my middle eastern men – speak
Arabic
 They lie and say they have bombs' on them but they
don't
 Try to fly the plane
 The passengers get scared, so the men all try to fly the
plane their selves and try to attack the terrorists
 The plane crashes and everyone dies
 One of the men has flash backs of him trying to
figure out how to work a plane – Shows that they
have thought it through.
 Man changing his t-shirt - Shows his up to
something
 Men looking suspicious- Wearing red bands on their
forehead

 There are no religious references made. The only thing that is said
about the whole hijacking act was that one of the men said ‘this is
Allah’s will’ – this can try to indicate act of jihad?
 The terrorists are middle eastern men – talk Arabic –this can be
stereotypically viewed as most of the terrorists seem Arab?
 The twin tower getting bombed is referenced as terrorism
 The direction lacks any sense of realism, which is surprising from a man who
made a career out of documentaries. I feel that the producers have rushed this
out to cash in on the success of the Green grass reconstruction.
 The movie has no emotional impact, considering that these events brought the
world to a standstill and changed the way we live in society today
 Flight 93 is a very poor film indeed.
 There were many negative comments made about
the film.
