Tom Hanks stars in Clint Eastwood’s latest directorial effort as Captain Chelsea “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot behind the 2009 Miracle on the Hudson.
On 15 January 2009, Sullenberger safely crash-landed a plane on the Hudson River. 155 passengers were aboard, with all surviving.
The film concerns the incident and its aftermath. In the trailer, the media hails Sullenberger as a hero, but the pilot comes under investigation for the landing. The attention – and what may be described as a variation of survivor’s guilt – overwhelms Hanks’ soft-spoken character.
Sully: Miracle on the Hudson marks Eastwood’s first film since the controversial, Oscar-nominated American Sniper.
