THE terrifying moment when Man Haron Monis opened fire on a room full of hostages in the Lindt cafe has been recreated by actors for the upcoming 60 Minutes Sydney Siege special.
The footage, being trailered on Channel 9's website, shows an actor portraying Monis shout, pull evil faces and even fire his shotgun.
He enters the cafe and demands customers move before saying: "This is an attack on Australia by the Islamic State", then forcing a hostage to move in to the window.
The reconstruction is interspersed with interviews with the survivors who share their nightmarish memories on the couch with Liz Hayes.

Lindt employees Harriette Denny, Paolo Vassalo, Joel Herat, Fiona Ma and Jarrod Hoffman are interviewed by Ms Hayes as well as Westpac worker Selina Win Pe and mother and daughter Robyn and Louisa Hope.
Channel 7 is also believed to have secured interviews with a number of hostages including John O'Brien, the first to escape, and Marcia Mikhael.
Monis took 18 people hostage on December 15 in a 16 hour stand off at the Martin Place cafe. Hostages were made to hold an Islamic flag up to the window and some escaped through the day.
The siege eventually ended in the early hours of the next morning, with cafe manager Tori Johnson and barrister Katrina Dawson killed. Monis was also killed as heavily armed police entered the building.

Seven staff at the Martin Place cafe were among the 17 hostages in the building when terrorist Man Haron Monis entered shortly before 10am.
After O'Brien and Stefan Balafoutis escaped late in the afternoon, those remaining were left with the toughest of decisions. Stay, support the other hostages and risk being slayed in revenge or make a run for it and risk your life another way.
Among the workers were university student Fiona Ma, picking up a few holiday shifts, and Paolo Vassallo, a married father of three. In a preview for Channel 9's 60 Minutes, to be screened on Sunday, the pair told of their conflicting choices in the high pressure scenario.

"I said we're going now — you're coming with me," Mr Vassallo told Ms Ma. "She said: I can't, I can't' and I said, 'Why Fiona?'
Later he made his move, escaping in the afternoon in the second group of hostages. "I ran. I didn't turn around," he said.
Ms Ma's decision was complicated by the news that colleague Harriet Denny was pregnant. Ms Denny told Ms Ma the news when they went for a bathroom break. She had made her decision.
"I can't leave people behind because I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt," Ms Ma said.
Vassallo speaks briefly of his feelings after finding out about the death of his colleague Tori Johnson, who was executed by Monis:
"I said sorry to him, sorry that you're dead — and I wish I could've helped you."
Complicating matters still further, those interviewed said Monis adopted an 'eye-for-an-eye' approach after the first set of hostages escaped.

Jarrod Hoffman, a 19-year-old UTS student working part-time at the cafe and one of the last people to leave, reported Monis as saying: 'If someone else leaves, someone dies.' Mr Hoffman said he thought "they had left us."
He described how one of his colleagues opening the deadbolt on a side door alerted Monis to the hostages' escape plans:
Many of the hostages are overcome with emotion as they begin to describe the gunman opening fire to Ms Hayes.
The full program will air on Channel 9 at 6.30pm on Sunday.
