On January 15th 2009 the US Airways Flight 1549 took off from New York's LaGuardia Airport on a routine flight. After only a few minutes in the air the plane was hit by a flock of birds, knocking out both engines. With no way to get to any of the surrounding airports Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger and his co-pilot First Officer Jeffery Skiles made the impossible choice to make an extremely dangerous water landing on the Hudson River. This Saved the lives of all 155 people on board and deemed the men heroes.
Sully is the story of the legal case which followed the events of that day, the event itself and the effect it had on the lives of both men. We follow Sully and Skiles' as they fight their case on why they landed how they did. The case behind the landing sparked controversy when the National Transportation Safety Board tell the men that they could have made it to the surrounding airports, to the anger of Sully who argued his case on the human factor element.
This was an eye opening film. A touching film and one of the best roles from Hanks this year. This is an Oscar (or BAFTA) must! the many twists and turn throughout. The obvious cover up attempts in this film were crazy! and knowing this kind of stuff can still happen in this day and age is disgusting. Sully is a really hero of our time and this is a film you just HAVE to see.
