Un ticchettio di un orologio segna il tempo. Tutto a New York si muove, lavora, sorride, vive. D'improvviso un suono sordo, muto. Inizia l'inferno. JJ Mc Loughlin (Nicholas Cage), a capo di alcuni agenti di polizia portuale, entra nelle torri per salvare le migliaia di persone intrappolate nel World Trade Center. I minuti corrono inesorabili. Inaspettato, un fragore terrificante li scuote. Collassa la prima torre. Dopo alcuni minuti la seconda. Mc Loughlin e l'agente Jimeno rimangono intrappolati sotto le macerie, senza via di scampo. Questa è la vera storia del loro 11 settembre 2001.
