The Guys is a 2002 drama film directed by Jim Simpson and stars Sigourney Weaver and Anthony LaPaglia. The film is based on the true story of a fire captain who lost eight men in the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Weaver plays journalist Joan, who is asked by captain Nick (LaPaglia) to help him write and deliver eulogies for his fallen comrades. The film follows the two as they work together to honor the brave men who lost their lives on that tragic day.
As Joan and Nick prepare the eulogies, they have to grapple with their own grief and emotions, and find solace in one another's company. Through their conversations, we get a glimpse into the lives of the firefighters and the impact their loss had on their families and loved ones.
The film is a poignant reminder of the events of September 11, and the people whose lives were forever changed on that day. It is a moving tribute to the heroes who risked everything to save others, and a powerful exploration of grief and healing in the aftermath of tragedy.
