World Trade Center
Two police officers struggle to survive when they become trapped beneath the rubble of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Critics Sentiment
South Tower collapses onto the officers in the concourse
Building 7 collapses causing both men to scream and accept death
Sharp decline from the gripping tower collapse sequence to the repetitive middle section trapped in rubble, dropping 2.9 points as critics grew frustrated with pacing
World Trade Center starts strong with praised opening sequences and powerful collapse footage, but loses momentum in extended middle sections that critics found repetitive and drawn-out. The rescue sequences provide emotional payoff, though many reviewers felt Stone's unusually restrained approach, while respectful, resulted in a bland film that avoided deeper engagement with 9/11's significance.
