  • Come on, guys. What are we waiting for? Let's roll. Come on, let's go already. Let's go.

  • Hey, this is a suicide mission. We have to do something. They are not going to land this plane; they are not going to take us back to the airport.
  • The pilot! Get the pilot!

Honor Elizabeth Wainio

  • Hi, Mom, it's me. I'm on the plane that's been hijacked. I'm just calling to tell you that I love you, and goodbye. This really kind woman handed me the phone and she said to call you.

Richard Guadagno

  • If we don't get in there, we'll all die!

  • [after Mark Bingham kills Ahmed al-Haznawi] I got it! I got it! I got it! It's a fake! It's a fake! The bomb's a fake! It's a fake!

Ziad Jarrah

  • Open the door. Open the door and nobody will be hurt.
  • Lord to you I have submitted myself, given you my faith. On you I depend.
  • We must go lower.
  • [as he puts the plane into a nosedive after being ordered to crash the plane by Saeed Al-Ghamdi] Allahu Akbar!
  • [as Tom Burnett's and Ziad Jarrah's hands grabbing the yoke of the plane] Give it to me!

Saeed Al Ghamdi

  • [as the passengers breach the cockpit] Ziad!

Ahmed al-Haznawi

  • [first lines] Ziad. It's time.
  • [as the passengers charge towards him] No! No No no!

Ben Sliney

  • I'm not taking any more chances. We got stuff flying around we have no control over, and I don't want a board full of these planes hitting every building on the East Coast. This is a national emergency. Everyone lands, regardless of destination.

Others

  • Title card: Of the four aircraft hijacked that day, United 93 was the only one that did not reach its target. It crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03am. No one survived. Military commanders were not notified that United 93 had been hijacked until four minutes after it had crashed. The nearest fighter jets were 100 miles away. At 10:18am, the President authorized the military to engage hijacked aircraft. Fearing an accidental shoot down, military commanders chose not to pass the order to pilots in the air. By 12:06pm every civilian airliner over America had been forced to land. Amidst an unprecedented military mobilization, US airspace was closed until further notice. Dedicated to the memory of all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

Quotes about United 93

  • It is not too soon for "United 93," because it is not a film that knows any time has passed since 9/11. The entire story, every detail, is told in the present tense. We know what they know when they know it, and nothing else. Nothing about Al Qaeda, nothing about Osama bin Laden, nothing about Afghanistan or Iraq, only events as they unfold. This is a masterful and heartbreaking film, and it does honor to the memory of the victims.
  • Is it too soon for United 93? Is it too soon for a stark, solemn and sobering depiction of how passengers on the fourth hijacked jet of that awful morning overpowered their captors, driving their plane into the ground and sparing us what might have been the most emotionally crippling blow of all: the destruction of the U.S. Capitol. Is it too soon for that? The question vexes me. We're not talking about taste here, after all. Not one has said United 93 is a bad or exploitative movie. So the issue of whether it is 'too soon' for this film clearly springs from a less high-minded concern: that it will hurt too much; that it will be too visceral a reminder of too painful a day.
  • "United 93" winds up feeling like a cross between a motion picture and 90 minutes of therapy — the kind of movie we should see, in that civic obligation sort of way, rather than the kind we might actually enjoy. There’s not a lot to learn from this story; every last person in the audience knows exactly what is going to happen. The movie meanders back and forth across the line separating documentary reenactment from full-blown drama, never quite committing either way. But there’s a grit — a vicious, real-time tension — that serves to heighten rather than undermine the crescendo. Virtually every scene is hewed to a sharp and frightening simplicity, blissfully free of the usual cinematic bloviations.
