A film that follows George W. Bush on September 11, 2001. The film begins with President Bush and his staff arriving at Emma E. Booker Elementary School. About ten minutes before President Bush is set to enter the classroom, a commercial plane hits Tower One of the World Trade Center. Bush proceeds into the class room and meets Sandra Kay Daniels and her students. At this time in D.C., a call has been placed on hold for Condoleezza Rice, and a statement has been released stating White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer needs to answer questions about a "crash" in New York. President Bush continues to read "The Pet Goat" with Mrs. Daniels and her students. At about 9:05 a.m. White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card whispers into Bush's ear, "A second plane has hit the second tower. America is under attack". President Bush keeps his cool and continues reading for seven minutes. After Mrs. Daniels is finished with the book, Bush excuses himself from the classroom. During this time Ari Fleischer, who is with Bush, holds up a notepad in the back of the classroom that reads "Don't say anything yet". Bush and his staff leave the classroom and meet in another room inside the school. After almost thirty minutes of discussion with his staff, President Bush addresses the nation from the library. He and his staff then depart to Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport. F-16s surround Air Force One. The plane stops in Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana and the U.S. Strategic Command Underground Command Center in Nebraska. President Bush and his staff arrive in Washington D.C. later that evening. He properly addresses the nation. The next day President Bush arrives at ground zero in New York. He stands on top of the rumble with Bob Beckwith, New York City Fire Department employee, and famously says, " I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people – and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon". President Bush is decoyed out of New York on the Gulf Stream III, he later arrives at Camp David.
