Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Thirteenth Floor is a 1999 science-fiction crime thriller starring Craig Bierko and Vincent D'Onofrio based on the 1964 novel Simulacron-3 (also known as Counterfeit World), by Daniel F. Galouye. It had been previously adapted on German television under the name World on a Wire (Welt am Draht).For years, Douglas Hall (Bierko) has been working with his friend and mentor, Hannon Fuller (Armin Mueller-Stahl), to create a simulated world. Not merely a computer game, their simulation is a Small, Secluded World where the inhabitants don't know that they are simulated. They believe that their world is the real world of 1937, not just a simulation in a cluster of supercomputers at the thirteenth floor of some future skyscraper.Now someone or something has murdered Fuller, and seem to be trying to pin the blame on Hall. The answer to the mystery is somewhere in the world they created together... But their world is not safe anymore. Simulated humans are awakening to the terrible truth of their existence, wanting revenge on their deceitful creators.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| The Thirteenth Floor / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Fuller's alter ego mentions having been "in World War One". Nobody would have numbered it in 1937, before the second had ever happened. It's probably intentional, as this 1937 is not a 100% real representation of how it was, but is a "recreation of 1937 from (Fuller's) youth." The programs are following what they've been programmed to, which would include mistakenly call the first world war "World War One" because they're created by post-WWII programmers. | |

And the Adventure Continues: It's implied at the ending that what they consider to be the real world is actually yet another simulation. | |

Bait-and-Switch Gunshot: Jane Fuller is running away from David, and finds herself in a wide open space with nowhere to go. David lifts his gun and she closes her eyes, ready for the worst. The camera stays on her, there is a bang and she shudders — but a second later she opens her eyes, and we see that her husband has been shot by Detective McBain instead. | |
