World trade center attacks? september 11th?

It says on the plot summary:

"September the 1st, 2001. Elliot, an American C.I.A. agent holding top secret information on the immediate future of the world, disappears. His sole aim was to meet his daughter Orlando, whom he abandoned ten years before. Irène (Binoche), a French agent who used to work with him, and David, his adoptive son, will help him and lead the girl to her father. Chased by William Pound (Turturro), a strangely poetic psycho, they will defy the dangers of international espionage from Paris to Venice and finally get to Elliot on September the 11th 2001."

ok so, it ends on the same day of the planes hit the World Trade Center; is that what this whole movie is about? Thats what my first response was when I read "immediate future of the world" and that it is taking place in the span of the 10 days before the 9/11 attacks. Any comments?

Seemingly it's a thriller about the disappearance of a secret service agent who has info about the attacks of 9/11

I have read an interview with Ms. Binoche, wherein she relates that, in researching her role for this film, she studied with an actual secret agent who told her, among other things, that there WAS prior knowledge of the 911 attacks in the intelligence community. She also alluded to the fact that events in the movie are 'true," whatever that means.

La Binoche is hardly a mere B actress, you piece of *beep* Had you thus defamed the lady in my presence, I'd have smote you where you stood.

So many links about this stuff are dead . . . .

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

Yep, the plot summary pretty much sums up the whole movie. The only thing it's left out was that Elliot wanted to leave the commission (20-30 million dollars) he receives for the info on the imminent terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, to his daughter and his 2nd wifes son. Great movie, how it all falls into place, without all the action of a block buster type movie.
