Sully

Tom Hanks stars in this portrait of airline pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, re-enacting his successful emergency landing of an Airbus A320 full of 155 passengers on the Hudson River. In the aftermath of this unprecedented heroic feat, the traumatized pilot must endure second-guessing by investigators, the weight of sudden fame, and his own doubts about his actions that fateful day. Directed by Clint Eastwood

“Sully vividly portrays the physical realities and human elements in the dramatic safe landing of a crippled US Airways jet on the Hudson River on Jan. 15, 2009. An elegant and eloquent docudrama…the shortest of all [Eastwood’s] films.” -Todd McCarthy –The Hollywood Reporter

“Although not an Oscar-worthy endeavor, “Sully” proves to be by turns engaging, exhilarating, and nail-biting.” -James Berardinelli –Reel Views
