11: Time of Crisis

DC 911 Time of Crisis is a 2003 television movie which reenacts the events of the September 11, 2001 attacks as seen from the point of view of the President of the United States and his staff. It was directed by Brian TrenchardSmith and starred Timothy Bottoms as President George W. Bush.

The writer wanted a sense of authenticity to underpin the film. To achieve this a vast amounts of research were conducted which included an interview with President Bush, which led to true scenes appearing in the film, such as Rumsfelds early breakfast meeting on the morning of September 11, Cheney ordering the plane being shot down, and President Bush receiving PAPD Officer George Howards badge from his grieving mother Arlene. The writer wanted to answer a number of questions many people had that day, most notably where was President Bush and why was he out of contact for so long.Timothy Bottoms previously played George W. Bush in a comedic fashion in the shortlived sitcom Thats My Bush as well as in The Crocodile Hunter Collision Course. ........
