Historical movies create problems for the writer of the initial script treatment. Events must sequenced and the time compressed so that the story moves along, after all this is a film and it must be entertaining. OfficerJohn McLoughlin wrote the original treatment, so the audience can be assured that the events that occured on September eleventh and the effects on the families will be dipicted as he remembers.

Director Oliver Stone at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 2006:  "It is the true story of two New York Port Authority policemen trapped in the rubble and their incredible, improbable rescue. History is shaped by collective memory, what I hope one day will be seen as truth. The truth must exist in some way to confront power and extremism. World Trade Center is the story of  the humanity of 9-11, it's not about the terrorists ,it's not about the major part of the event itself. It's about the families and loved ones and what they were going through that day.
