Unlike fictional disaster movies of the post-9/11 era which focus mainly on apocalyptic, sensationalistic disasters, non-fictional movies portray peoples' renewed patriotism and their struggle for freedom in the face of insurmountable resistance, which reflects the attitudes of the American people following the tragedies of September 11, 2001.
The movie United 93 targets Americans who have forgotten about the fourth plane that crashed during the tragedies of September 11th. This fourth plane is a symbol of resistance and the traditional American value of courage. However, Americans often forget about the United 93 flight because of the focus on the collapse of the two World Trade Center towers in New York City and the attack on the Pentagon in Washington D.C.
