Sully

Clint Eastwood's 2016 film follows Captain Sullenberger, who landed his aircraft on the Hudson. Everyone survived, and an investigation began. The film shows the landing several times from different angles. The narrative argues whether the decision was right; the investigating board is built as a hard adversary, and the real board objected to that portrayal. Tom Hanks leads. It is short and the tone calm. It rests on a real event. Who it's for: those who like adaptations of real events and aviation stories. Who it's not for: viewers expecting the investigators given their due; the film deliberately hardens them.
