The two are tracking down a serial killer named SID 6.7 at a restaurant in virtual reality.

Grey asks Asha to help him return a refurbished car to his client Eron Keen, a renowned tech innovator. While visiting his home, Eron reveals his latest creation, a chip called STEM that can manage a human's motor functions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upgrade_(film)#Plot

The Metaverse is an interactive digital playground. If you are essentially interacting with cartoon avatar characters, then you know that you are just temporarily interacting with something in between the environment of a game or a simulation.
However, if you are temporarily mentally merged into something like the MATRIX or the 13th Floor, but without any awareness of the "real world", then that photo-realistic or interactive simulation will be your only frame of reference. Thus, you had better set the VR timer for only 1 or 2 hours. If it's more than a few hours, you might start to get hungry or have to go to the bathroom...
Of course if you have this all taken care of because you are in a full immersion pod, then you are already in your own version of the MATRIX.
In the first Avatar movie, people got to see a depiction of how a person was linked to a modified version of themselves adapted to look like humanoid beings on another planet. You are still you, but you have this full immersion haptic bodysuit, grown to just the right specifications.
How Does the concept of Quantum Leap work? The time traveler temporarily takes over the body of a person in their past. The person's body in the past temporarily becomes a haptic suit for the time traveler. The original version of QL could have made this more easy to understand, but the general premise was there.
If time travel could ever be proven to be possible, would that imply that this world is part of a cosmic interactive recording and projection? IE, a simulation of sorts.
What happens if a dangerous sentient digital character gets out into the real world? That's the premise of the 1995 movie Virtuosity.
"In Los Angeles, Lt. Parker Barnes and John Donovan are testing a virtual reality system that is going to be used for training police officers. The two are tracking down a serial killer named SID 6.7 at a restaurant in virtual reality. SID (short for Sadistic, Intelligent, Dangerous, a VR amalgam of the most violent serial killers throughout history) causes Donovan to go into shock, killing him." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuosity#Plot

Of course when something has happened to an actors or singers voice, the tech is there.

https://greenerideal.com/news/environment/track-your-carbon-footprint-pros-and-cons Several people already like the idea of being constantly tracked and monitored. They seem to want a world where one has to constantly get permission to almost do anything.
If people aren't careful, they could just become like mice in a laboratory maze where you might even have to seek permission just to spin on the hamster wheel.

Perhaps Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project is just another old AI Sci-Fi move from a bygone era.
"In a last desperate attempt to regain human control, a secret meeting is arranged in Europe between Forbin and his Soviet counterpart, Dr. Kuprin. Colossus learns of it, and both computers order Forbin's return to the U.S. while Soviet agents are ordered to kill Dr. Kuprin, under threat of a missile launch against Moscow. Colossus orders Forbin to be placed under 24-hour surveillance. Forbin has a last unmonitored meeting with his team, and proposes that Dr. Cleo Markham pretend to be his mistress. Colossus grudgingly grants them unmonitored privacy when they are in bed together, and they use these interludes to plan to regain control of Colossus.
Concluding that Colossus's only real power resides in its control of nuclear missiles, Forbin suggests covertly disarming them. The American and Soviet governments develop a three-year plan to replace all launch triggers with undetectable fakes. Additionally, one of the programmers comes up with a plan to feed in an "ordinary" test program that will hopefully overload and disable Colossus.
Colossus creates a voice synthesizer and uses it to announce that it has fused with Guardian. It instructs both governments to redirect their nuclear arsenals at those countries not yet under "Colossus control". Forbin and others see this new directive as an opportunity to covertly disarm the missiles much more quickly, and they celebrate. The disarming process begins and seems to go undetected by Colossus. The attempted system overload during routine maintenance fails, however, and the responsible programmers are killed.
Colossus arranges a worldwide broadcast in which it proclaims itself "the voice of World Control", declaring that it will prevent war, as it was designed to do. Humankind is presented with the choice between "the peace of plenty and content, or the peace of unburied death". Colossus states that it has for some time been monitoring the attempts to disarm its missiles and as a lesson will now detonate two missiles in their silos, one in the US and one in the USSR, killing thousands "so that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference". The computer then gives the design team plans for an even larger computer complex to be built into the island of Crete.
Colossus later tells Forbin that the world, now freed from war, will create a new human millennium that will raise humankind to new heights, but only under its absolute rule. Colossus informs Forbin that "freedom is an illusion" and that "in time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love". Forbin responds, "Never!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project#Plot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project#Remake? Given at how much technology has advanced since 1970, a remake or updated version just might be too frightening for the masses.

392 years before what happened in 2001, Henry Hudson was drawn to that part of the world on 9-11.
"Henry Hudson discovered NYC via the Half Moon Ship on September 11, 1609.
Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his speech on September 11, 1941 that would plant America as a global economic and military superpower.
The US Military Defense The Pentagon started construction on September 11, 1941."

"Charles Norris (December 4, 1867 – September 11, 1935) was New York's first appointed chief medical examiner (1918–1935)..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Norris_(medical_examiner)
1944 & the # 911
Operation_Overlord and the Normandy_landings on Omaha_Beach. So much death happened there in Normandy. The #911 has been associated with so much death and destruction through the years.
"The fiefdom of Normandy was created for the Viking leader Hrólfr, known in Medieval Latin as Rollo. Rollo had besieged Paris but in 911 entered vassalage to the king of the West Franks, Charles the Simple, through the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy#Viking_raids_and_foundation_of_the_Norman_state
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Chartres_(911)
"Rollo in June 911 unsuccessfully laid siege to Chartres. He was defeated in battle on 20 July 911.[1] In the aftermath of this conflict, Charles the Simple decided to negotiate a treaty with Rollo." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Clair-sur-Epte#The_treaty
"The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Normandy

1297-9-11
"The Battle of Stirling Bridge (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Drochaid Shruighlea) was a battle of the First War of Scottish Independence. On 11 September 1297, the forces of Andrew Moray and William Wallace defeated the combined English forces of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling, on the River Forth." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stirling_Bridge
704 years later, two Sterling_Silver like towers in NYC were destroyed with thousands of people in and around them.
"The columns were covered with aluminum, giving the towers a distinctive silver color." https://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/wtc.htm
There is some peculiar 9-11 synchronicity with Frank_Serpico.
"On September 11, 1959, Serpico joined the New York City Police Department (NYPD) as a probationary patrolman, and became a full patrolman on March 5, 1960." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Serpico#NYPD
The movie Serpico was released in late 1973, when the twin towers were quite prominent on the NYC skyline. http://cinesthesiac.blogspot.com/2016/12/1001-films-serpico-1973.html , https://moviesthatmove.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/serpico-conveying-angst
Columbine 1999
"Dylan Bennet Klebold (/ˈkliːboʊld/; September 11, 1981 – April 20, 1999) was born in Lakewood, Colorado." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#Dylan_Klebold
Fortunately, most people born on 9-11 don't want to resort to causing death and destruction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#11:19_a.m.:_Shooting_begins
"One of the two teen-age gunmen who killed 12 other students and a teacher before killing themselves in a 1999 attack on Columbine High School described their plan in detail in his journals, and said that if they could not get out of the country after the attack, they would hijack a plane and crash it into New York City." http://edition.cnn.com/2001/US/12/05/columbine.diary
"Soon after beginning his journal, Harris typed out one plan of attack which included after the massacre possibly escaping to a foreign country or hijacking an aircraft at Denver International Airport and crashing it into New York City." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#Writings
"Parents of some of the victims filed several unsuccessful lawsuits against film companies, over films such as The Basketball Diaries, which includes a dream sequence with a student shooting his classmates in a trench coat." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#Lawsuits
The_Basketball_Diaries_(film) was released in 1995.
"The film became controversial in the aftermath of the 1997 Heath High School shooting and the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. Critics noted similarities between those shooting attacks and a dream sequence in the film in which the protagonist (Leonardo DiCaprio) wears a black trenchcoat and shoots six students in his school classroom." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basketball_Diaries_(film)#Lawsuits
http://www.catholicboy.com/jc_columbine.php
"The Basketball Diaries is a 1978 memoir written by author and musician Jim Carroll." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basketball_Diaries_(book)
Jim Carroll died in 2009 on 9-11, of course.

Fortunately, most naturalized U.S. citizens don't want to cause death and destruction.
To this day, so many people remain unaware of how much death and destruction is connected to the #911. The #911intersects with various things besides aircraft.
Then, there is is the # 191.
