This movie is relatively low rated, but is scarily prescient.

I find it kind of incredible that this film exists. If The Siege had been written a few years after 9/11, it would be taken as one big and not at all subtle allegory for those events and themes playing off of them . . . the fact that it came before is just creepy. I mean so many of the issues it touches on from civil liberties in the face of terrorism and torture, to profiling, to a lack of inter-agency cooperation, to the impact of foreign policy in the middle-east . . . I mean we take these discussions for granted these days, but here it all was in a big Hollywood movie about terrorist attacks on New York. Even the throwaway clips of reaction on news shows are so recognisable.

The point where there's a clear shot of the twin towers gave me chills.
