Loose Change is a series of films released between 2005 and 2009 that argue in favor of certain conspiracy theories relating to the September 11 attacks. The films were written and directed by Dylan Avery and produced by Korey Rowe, Jason Bermas, and Matthew Brown.

The original 2005 film was edited and re-released as Loose Change: 2nd Edition (2006), a third time for the 2nd Edition Recut (2006), and then subsequently edited for a fourth time for the HD Remastered Edition (2017). Loose Change: Final Cut was released on DVD and Web-streaming format on November 11, 2007.[1][2]

Another version of the film, Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup, released on September 22, 2009, is narrated by Daniel Sunjata and distributed by Microcinema International.[3]

Coverage of the film increased in 2006 with the recut release having airings on U.S. and European television stations and over four million views online in four months,[4] leading Vanity Fair to say it could be the first Internet blockbuster.[5]

Loose Change asserts that the account of the Pentagon attack, World Trade Center collapse and United 93 phone calls and crash is implausible and instead suggests the 9/11 attacks were a false flag operation. The film's main claims have been debunked by journalists,[6] independent researchers,[7][8] and prominent members of the scientific and engineering community.[9]
