Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this is not the theatrical United 93 motion picture but a less-hyped cable-TV movie telling the same story of the ill-fated but heroic passengers of a September 11 plane commandeered by terrorists. Unlike the other film, this does not drop F-bombs of mass destruction, but there is still considerable intensity and tragedy, especially in the passengers and their families realizing that death is inevitable. There is some violence, as the terrorists take over the aircraft with knives and threats of a bomb.

Violence
Some quick slashings with box-cutter knives (some blood shown), and a man is splashed with boiling water. The worst is left to the imagination.
Language
Hardly any rough language.
Social
Behavior
Passengers cope with the grim situation of being hijacked on a suicide terrorist mission, and ultimately they decide to foil the marauders even at the cost of their own lives.
Consumerism
Even the aircraft insignia are left out, though soft-drink labels show on a beverage cart being used as battering-ram.
