The September 11 attacks sit at the center of this film's argument that the official account of nineteen hijackers acting alone does not hold up. It traces the rise of American imperialism through the twentieth century, showing how military power became the tool the United States used to secure its position in global politics, and argues that large corporations shaped foreign policy decisions long before 2001. Building on that groundwork, the film lays out the case for a false flag operation, walking through the history of governments staging or exploiting attacks to justify wars and consolidate power at home. It weighs economic motive alongside political motive, arguing that the interests of major industries and the interests of ordinary Americans diverged sharply in the run-up to the war on terror. The film does not pretend its thesis is settled; it presents the imperialism argument as context and the false flag claim as the conclusion it wants viewers to test against that history themselves.
