World Trade Center (2006)
When it was announced that Oliver Stone would tackle 9/11 on the big screen, most expected a Fahrenheit 9/11-style expose filled with combustible content and conspiracy theories. Instead, Stone delivered a straightforward, heartfelt movie about selfless rescuers and disaster survivors: Nicolas Cage and Michael Pena play two Port Authority police officers who respond to the disaster and become trapped in the rubble of the collapsed Manhattan buildings; Maria Bello and Maggie Gyllenhaal are the wives holding their breath, waiting to hear if their loved ones made it out alive. Ultimately, the film is more of a time capsule of the actual disaster, devoid of politics and terrorist intents.
