New Yorkers have got their first glimpse of the controversial new Oliver Stone film 'World Trade Center'.
Hollywood's first attempt at the tragedy of 9/11 recounts the hours spent by two police officers trapped under the wreckage of the collapsed towers.
Many viewers spoke of a strong sense of remembrance attached to the film.
Edward Deberry is one of them.
 "They need to never forget what happened, and I think that Americans are starting to lose that.
Nicholas Cage plays McLoughlin, an officer who leads his men into the Trade Centre on 9/11, only for one of the towers to collapse on him and his crew.
Michael Pena plays officer Jimeno who becomes trapped in the rubble with McLoughlin.
Stone said he relied on 9/11 survivors Jimeno and McLoughlin to ensure the film was factually correct.
"Because it happened and it's true, we didn't make anything up. These are five stories that are interconnected of New Yorkers on that day and what happened...Two families and a rescuer who was an accountant. Then its also about the teams who rescued the two men in the hole."
The director also said he felt it his duty to make a movie about 9/11.
