520 |a This article analyses the depiction of religious belief in Paul Greengrass' controversial film United 93 which tells the story of the doomed flight which was hijacked and eventually crashed into a field in Shanksville, PA on September 11, 2001. It argues that Greengrass paints religious belief as sincerely held by devotees but ultimately either dangerous or futile and no contemporary construction of God survives that day of terror. The film is also shown to question human trust in the mundane miracles of modern western life. Greengrass does valorise the belief of men and women in each other, their relationships and the human spirit. The film suggests that this is the only faith worth having in the post 9/11 world.
