This is a unique World Trade Center movie. It didn't begin shooting until May 2002. During the opening credits we are shown many
angles of the Tower Lights Memorial that shined in the night after 9/11. At 45 minutes two of the characters have
a scene in front of an apartment window that overlooks Ground Zero. At the end of that scene, we see several shots of the workers
sifting through the soil for human remains. Also at 41 minutes

In the last shot of the movie, there is a skyline shot of New York that transforms from the 1860's to present day. The WTC towers are included, even though the movie was released after 9/11. Director Martin Scorsese left them in since he said the movie is about those who built New York, not those who tried to destroy it.
59 minutes, 1 hour 11 minutes
The story of a writer helping a fire captain who lost 8 men in the 9/11 attacks. Although the actual towers are not shown, at 2 minutes the writer looks at a photo of the towers before 9/11.

Spiderman was released six months after the towers fell on 9/11. The movie makers did not want to offend victims' families by using the towers. The images were removed from the poster, but the towers can still be seen in the background at 26 minutes, in a reflection in Spiderman's eyes at 55 minutes, and another really quick background shot at 1 hour 55 minutes. Also removed from the movie (but in an early trailer, below) was a scene where Spiderman weaves a web between the towers to catch criminals in a helicopter.
