World Trade Center

A 2004 Nissan Pathfinder Armada is seen driving by, the movie is set in 2001.

In the scene with the local police going to Donna McLoughlin's house, a blue police car and a fire vehicle pull up.

The blue police car has wheels on it only available on the 2003 and newer Crown Victoria, this movie was set in 2001.

When Allison Jimeno leaves the house to take a walk, you can see the shadow of a crew member on the sidewalk.

Multiple characters are observed drinking Bud Light bottles with clear plastic labels.

These labels were not seen on Bud Light bottles until 2004.

In a couple shots of Will Jimeno (who is pinned under heavy concrete slabs) the concrete slabs visibly rise and fall with his shallow breathing.

As Will is talking about his family, we see a shot of him talking with two rocks on his shoulder.

However, after a few other cuts, in the next shot the rocks are gone.

Then they are back on in the following shot.

In scenes outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal, concrete planters are clearly visible surrounding the building.

The planters were added to the bus terminal after the September 11th attacks.

In the early scenes at the Port Authority, there is a wrap-around ad on a building for the Charles Schwab "Talk to Chuck" campaign, which wasn't introduced until 2005.

During a scene in the hospital near the end of the film, a can of Sierra Mist can be seen on a table.

Although this drink existed in 2001, it used a different logo in the 2000-2002 time frame.

This logo is from the 2003-2006 time frame.

In one of the opening scenes we see a #2 train, however this train is not a real #2 train.

The real #2 trains run on the IRT line, these trains are characterized by being narrower, the train we see in the scene was probably a BMT line train; the BMT line trains look more like the one in the scene and also have a chassis as wide as the one in the shot.

At the dinner table, Donna's left hand is visible on her chin from the camera shot behind her, but her hand is not even near her face, on the camera shot in front of her.

At the beginning of the movie, one of the characters asks the Yankee fan if he saw Jeter's home run during Saturday's game.

Derek Jeter didn't play the Saturday before Sept.

11 because he was injured.

In that game on Saturday, September 8 2001, the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 9 to 2.

Enrique Wilson filled in at shortstop for the injured Derek Jeter and went 2 for 4 including a triple, with a run and a run batted in.

When Allison goes to the CVS with Jerry and Will's sister, her purse strap changes.

When the camera is facing her the straps are both over her shoulder, and when the camera is on her back, one of the straps is on her shoulder and the other is hanging down.

It switches back and forth between shots.

There is an outdoor scene showing trees with leaves displaying bright fall colors.

Leaves in the northeast US don't begin to change until late September and would not be at their peak colors until mid-October.

The scene outside the port authority building has a shadow of AA flight 11 moving over the officer from his right to left, which he followed visually, indicating a northerly flight path at that time of day as the sun would have been in the southeast sky.

Flight 11 was headed south and at that time, its path was never between the sun and the port authority terminal, and it struck the north side of the North Tower.

When the rescuers are lifting the concrete slab off of John McLoughlin, the first slab they remove is quite obviously made of painted cardboard and/or styrofoam.

In the beginning, there is a view of the streets with a crossing sign.

However, that type of electronic sign (the one with the hand for "Don't Walk" and the person for "Walk") was not installed until December 2001.

At the time of the attacks, the old signs with the words were still in use.

There is a brief scene set in Hong Kong, where locals are stunned by what they see happening in New York on TV.

The background clearly shows that it is daytime.

However, when the 9/11 events occurred, it was night time in Hong Kong.

When Jimeno is dealing with the tourists outside the bus terminal, the shadow of the first plane is cast on the E Walk of The Westin New York at Times Square.

This cannot be true, since both the E Walk and The Westin were under construction at the time and opened in October 2002.

At the beginning of the movie when we see different parts of New York City, you can actually see a modern Dodge Daurango.

These SUV's came in 2005 not in 2001.

During an establishing shot at the beginning of the film, a Honda Element can easily be seen driving past an intersection.

This car was introduced in 2003, so there couldn't have been one present in New York in 2001.

On the way to the Police Station where Donna thinks she can pick up her husband, the nail polish on her finger nails has disappeared.

In the next scene, it is back again.

When the group of guys exit the lift and see the large line of people, a boom mic is reflected in the window of the Crabtree & Evelyn shop.

Early in the film notice that John Mcloughlin carries a old wooden nightstick compared to the modern black nightsticks that the other officers carry.

On the bus scene, one of the officers got a phone call from his wife saying that a second plane hit the Twin Towers.

Later on in the film when the officers arrive at the World Trade Center they look up at the buildings; there is no damage done to the South Tower.

During the "rubble" and "rescue" scenes, the setting is supposed to be Lower Manhattan and what remains of the World Trade Center, but when filming it was really a 60 acre field of crushed steel in Los Angeles.

Dave Karnes' partner "Jason Thomas" is really African American not white.

On the scene where the police officers return to the police station and watch the news footage; notice that there is a cable wire stretching from the back of the TV to the ground, that's because the footage is rewound on a VCR from videotape not Live TV.

When McLoughlin and Kassimatis are driving to the WTC after the first plane strike, the sun is on the wrong side of the towers, in reality in the morning the sun is on the east side of the WTC, in the movie, its on the west side.

This is corrected later when the other officers are shown at the base of the towers On the scene where the fire truck is driving down Broadway, the Engine Company number is listed as "99"; although the FDNY's highest "90s" engines only go to "97", this is not a goof - Engine 99 is featured in the FX network television show Rescue Me, and is making a cameo appearance here; 9/11 was a frequent theme throughout that series.

When Donna and her brother were in the car waiting for the stoplight, the door was visibly locked but then again she was able to open it and got out.

Highly underrated movie that follows the will to survive of two Port Authority Policemen after that attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11. Special affects are amazing.

Antes de nada, escribo esta reseña en el décimo aniversario del múltiple, terrorífico y brutal atentado contra Estados Unidos que células terroristas de Al-Qaeda llevaron a cabo al atacar las Torres Gemelas de Nueva York y el Pentágono, secuestrando con resultado de matanza cuatro aviones comerciales repletos de pasajeros. Este ataque masivo a la soberanía de un país cambió la estrategia política y militar contra el terrorismo y las relaciones internacionales en el mundo y dio paso a algunos respetuosos filmes como 'World Trade Center'.

As part of RTE's excellent coverage of the 9/11 anniversary, they showed World Trade Center as the Midweek Movie. I normally love to slaughter terrible films, but the subject manner of this and the presence of World's Greatest Actor Nicolas Cage meant I went into this hoping to be moved by it.

I had yet to see this movie, and as the 10 year mark for Sept 11th came around, I remembered that I had yet to see it. So I got my hands on it to watch.

So I heard that 10% of the money earned from this movie was going to 9/11 charities to help survivors and families of to poor souls who died. Except, over 60 million dollars was wasted on this and it didn't even make a million dollars.

Stone is known for political button pushing, but in WORLD TRADE CENTER, starring Nicolas Cage and Michael Pena as two NY port authority policemen who are literally buried alive beneath the wreckage of the WTC collapses, the director tells the story without any digressions. It's simply the true life story of John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno, as well as the story of a horrible day that assaulted America and then brought us together.

If this movie was Spielberg would have had more. Since these strontium on the assumption that a film must be beautiful to be directed by big names like Spielberg, Lucas, Jackson, Cameron.

This is a movie based on John and Will of the port authority police, their family's and the rescue of them out of the World Trade Center. If you have the two disc special edition you can see how they strived to make it as accurate as possible based off the information from all the people involved John and Will's rescue.

It's a normal New York morning on September 11, 2001. When a plane flies into Tower One, Sgt John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) leads a group of Port Authority cops.
