Fahrenhype 9/11 is a 2004 straight-to-DVD movie that examines and challenges Michael Moore's documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11. The movie is narrated by Ron Silver. Dick Morris (who also receives a co-writing credit), a campaign advisor to former United States President Bill Clinton, appears frequently, and features exclusive interviews with (then) Senator Zell Miller, conservative political commentator Ann Coulter, and former New York City mayor Ed Koch.

Others appearing in the movie include:

The movie was released on October 5, 2004, the same day that Fahrenheit 9/11 was released on home video. It was released with a companion book.

The film addresses Moore's film, step by step, providing information countering the viewpoint in the other film.

The movie was released only shortly before the November Election. In addition, the sales of the movie quickly declined and the DVD was soon sold at a low price, as low as one dollar each. When the price dropped, sales in case lots enabled civic and political groups to distribute the film more widely. This film was a poor seller and did not have its intended effect very well.
