James Corbett opens with a blunt reframing: before asking who attacked America on September 11, 2001, ask what kind of event it actually was, and treat it like any other crime by following the money. The film traces a series of financial threads around that day, from the unusual spike in put options placed against United and American Airlines stock in the days before the attacks, to Donald Rumsfeld's press conference on September 10, 2001, announcing that the Pentagon could not account for 2.3 trillion dollars in its own budget. It follows the insurance payout Larry Silverstein collected on the World Trade Center lease, and the contracts that flowed afterward to companies like Halliburton for reconstruction and war logistics in Iraq and Afghanistan. Corbett narrates over documents, news clips, and financial records rather than eyewitness interviews, building an argument that the attacks and the wars that followed produced clear financial winners. It is presented as one entry in a longer investigation of 9/11's official narrative.
