The movie is based off a stage play known as Elevator, which recalls the real life story of 5 strangers trapped in an an elevator in the World Trade Center’s North Tower during 9/11. The film was pieced together based off of voicemails left by victims to their loved ones.

However, many critics are questioning Charlie Sheen’s seriousness about the film. Uproxx explained that back 2006 Sheen was promoting ‘controlled demolition’ and conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11; “We’re not the conspiracy theorists on this issue. It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 per cent of the targets – that feels like a conspiracy theory. I’ve done a lot of research, and it’s not just me. It’s the people that have come before me, the experts, the engineers, the physicists, the scientists and the scholars that raised a lot of these things. After I took a look at their research it doesn’t add up.'”
