  • The 1976 King Kong movie has the giant ape climbing the World Trade Center. See: King Kong (1976)
  • The 1979 film Meteor shows the twin towers hit by a meteor fragment.
  • The 1998 film Armageddon shows a scene where the twin towers are being hit by meteor fragments.
  • The 2000 film Little Nickys poster and VHS/DVD covers show the World Trade Center in the background of Adam Sandler and Mr. Beefy (an English bulldog) sitting on a bench in Central Park.
  • The release of the movie Spider-Man was delayed until 2002 following the events of 9/11, so that shots of Spider-Man spinning a web between the two towers could be removed using computer-generated imagery.
  • In the 2001 Steven Spielberg film Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), the WTC towers are shown standing 2,000 years into the future after humanity has ceased to exist. This is noted to have been the last major film in which the towers were portrayed prior to their destruction on September 11, 2001.
  • The finale of the 2002 film Men in Black II was set to take place atop one of the WTC buildings. Due to the tragic fate of the towers, it was modified prior to release.
  • The end segments of the movie Vanilla Sky feature the Twin Towers still standing in the panoramic city background.

Comic books

  • In the 1989 Damage Control, the twin towers were damaged when a giant robot fell on them. Damage Control, a construction company that specialized in repairing superhero-related damage, had the towers repaired (although visibly crooked) by the end of the issue.
  • The 2004 comic Ex Machina detailed the life of Mitchell Hundred, formerly the world's first and only superhero, who was elected mayor of New York City in the wake of his saving hundreds of lives during the collapse of the north tower, and in preventing the collapse of the south tower.

Video games

The first map of the game Deus Ex, set in 2052, encompasses Liberty Island. The section of the New York City skyline containing the Twin Towers is absent, to reduce memory requirements for the map. The reason that the developers gave, if anyone asked, was that they had been destroyed by terrorists. This was over a year before the real attacks occurred.
