Rush to War examines the issues surrounding September 11th and American foreign policy. Early in October, three weeks after that attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, director Robert Taicher and a small film crew drove from Los Angeles to New York, interviewing a cross-section of Americans in the aftermath of the events. Most were astonished that anyone would want to attack the United States.

His interview subjects include former Senator George McGovern, former ambassadors Joe Wilson and Peter Tomsen; nationally syndicated columnists Robert Scheer, Molly Ivins, and Chris Hedges (New York Times). Taicher includes commentaries from Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, former chief UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, former General Anthony Zinni, and former terrorism czar Richard Clarke.
