With the fate of thousands hanging in the balance, the thespians put their powers of disguise and impersonation to the test, adopting multiple roles to stop the blast.

This Italian documentary questions the official version of events surrounding the attacks that fateful day, intercutting commentary from Gore Vidal and Dario Fo with new witness testimony and the latest scientific data, some of which conflicts with the US government's account.
