Terror on America

Terror on America is a 2023 docudrama that takes place during the September 11 terrorist attacks. The film tells the story of the Grayson family during the attacks, struggling to stay calm and make it through the attacks. The film's moral is about the importance of moving on and working together through even the most dreadful of situations, and that holding onto all the terrible thoughts is no way to live.

Synopsis
The Grayson family is a family that struggles to stay together. At the center of it all is Kristina, an office worker who has a job at the World Trade Center. She is given a very important business offer by her boss, which could give her family the financial stability they need. However, things go horribly wrong when her paranoid son Calvin spots a plane flying towards the tower she works in...

Plot
After a brief opening message declaring that the film is based on real events, and is dedicated to all those who lost their lives on that day, the film opens on an early morning on September 11, 2001. Kristina Grayson, an office worker who works at the North Tower in the World Trade Center, wakes up with the rest of her family; Marco, her husband who struggles to keep the family together, Calvin, her paranoid oldest son, Michael, her annoying middle child, Rose, her youngest child and only daughter, and Liam, Marco's unemployed lazy brother who is the source of most of the family's joy. The family is struggling financially, and have trouble functioning together.

Kristina receives a call from her boss, Mrs. Beth, who tells her about a job opportunity that would raise her pay by $10,000. This would give the family the financial boost they need, so Kristina accepts right away. Calvin worries that she may not land it and they would not get the money, but Kristina, fed up with his paranoia, tries to assure him everything will be fine. When that fails, she decides to prove it by taking her to work for the day.

Kristina and Calvin arrive at the North Tower, but they get into an argument about their life, and she tries to tell him that living life paranoid all the time is unhealthy. As she talks to him, Calvin spots a plane in the sky, and points out that it seems to be flying too low. Kristina initially takes it as him being paranoid again, but she eventually realizes he's right. The plane crashes right into the North Tower, creating a massive explosion that disorients Calvin temporarily. After he is snapped out of it, Kristina and him run away together. But when Calvin becomes too exhausted to run (as a result of a piece of rubble injuring his arm and causing it to bleed out), Kristina is forced to carry him through the panicking streets.

After the 2 return home, they quickly tell the rest of the family to turn on the news, as the plane crash is being reported. The family is left distraught and confused as Kristina attempts to tend to Calvin's wound. As the family discuss the event, the majority of them believe the crash to be an accident, but Calvin is suspicious and believes it was intentional, as he noticed the plane did not appear to be struggling in any way, or trying to avoid the tower. Calvin's suspicions are shut down by the rest of the family until the news reports that a second plane has crashed into the South Tower, and the family eventually agrees that this was an intentional act.

Eventually, a police officer and a doctor arrive, and tend to Calvin's wound while asking him and Kristina about what they know about the plane crashes. Results are limited, but the group comes to the general consensus that what's happening is a terrorist attack on America. With Calvin's arm stuck in a cast, Kristina begins to realize she may have lost her entire job now. Aisha Hillen, a local grocery store cashier and close friend of Kristina, kindly brings over free supplies and food to help them get through the event, as the store was closed early as a result of the news.

After the family watches president Bush make a speech about the attacks, Calvin discovers that Michael is trying to ignore what's going on and play video games. Calvin angrily berates him for doing this, but Michael reveals he's doing it out of fear of what's going on. Calvin is successfully able to calm him down just as the news begins to report that the Pentagon was attacked by another plane. Kristina attempts to make a call to Mrs. Beth, but fails, eventually learning that she was killed when the first plane hit.
