One day you’re just a pilot, the next the whole world wants to pat you on the back.
Welcome to the world of Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who sprung to international fame back in 2009 for a rather impressive crash landing.
I guess it was only a matter of time until it became a movie, because when you save the lives of 150 passengers in a dramatic river landing the script writes itself.
Over to TIME for a brief overview:
Clint Eastwood is directing it…and it looks rather dark — darker than you’d expect in a story that ultimately had a happy ending (compared, at least, to the alternative). We see the psychological aftershock of Sullenberger’s ordeal, exacerbated by the side of the story that didn’t get nearly as much media attention: concern over the possibility that Sullenberger could have made it back to the airport, rather than ditching the plane in the frigid Hudson.
Uh oh, are they going to damage the man’s legacy?
For now you can enjoy the trailer:
