I will never forget 9/11. It was a moment that is frozen in time and still haunts us as Americans. It was a day when our nation was brought to its knees, and we were reminded to look for the angels among us. Those brave souls that made a difference in a devastating time.

September 11, 2001, was just like any other day except I had a little extra pep in my step because I was getting married in eleven days. I remember walking into work but before stepping inside the building noticing that the sky was glorious that day. There was not a cloud in the sky. My cell phone went off right before I started work. Sixteen years ago we weren't attached to our phones like we're today. My mom broke the news to me. I was in shock.

9/11 opens in theaters on September 8 and features an all star cast including Luis Guzman(The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3), Gina Gershon (Showgirls), Wood Harris (Justified), Jacqueline Bisset (Dancing on the Edge (BBC), Welcome to New York), Olga Fonda (The Vampire Diaries) and Bruce Davison (X-Men).

In the World Trade Center, a billionaire sits in his attorney’s office awaiting a divorce hearing against his wife. In a west side apartment, a bike messenger kisses his 5-year old daughter and sings her “Happy Birthday” before leaving for work. A maintenance man gets dispatched to help a tenant with his lock. In an upper east side apartment, a young model musters the courage to break up with her sugar daddy. As random as random can be, these individuals step into a crowded World Trade Center elevator.

Wrapped up in their own world, they all ride silently hearing only the sound of the elevator giving notice of each floor. When the elevator stops on the 34th floor, it empties leaving only these five behind. Moments later ... their world changes as the collision of a jet into the North Tower incapacitates the elevator.

With no understanding of what has happened and is happening around them, these fives are forced to band together and fight against all odds to escape from the impending horrific collapse. During these critical minutes, a story of courage, faith, and the will to live unfolds.

Talking to our children about the events of 9/11 can be hard. Tuesday's Children has created an app to help share facts with the kiddies. It also includes behind the scene interviews with the stars of the film. Click below to download the app!
