Sully

A biographical drama from the five-time Oscar winner and cult director and actor Clint Eastwood, the author of "The Little One for a Million", "Gran Torino" and "Sniper". In January 2009, pilot Chesley Sullenberger and first officer Jeffrey Skiles saved the lives of 155 passengers and crew by landing a malfunctioning plane on the Hudson River. And although for the public Captain Sully became a hero who performed an unprecedented feat of aviation skill, all his actions became the object of a thorough investigation. New evidence can lead not only to the destruction of Chesley's reputation, but also to the destruction of his career as a pilot.
