Sounds familiar to me.

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 2013)

I am highly surprised to see that no comment has pointed out that this movie - that I have not seen yet - is the nearly retake of an oldie, made in 1980, and called THE PILOT. It was directed and starred Cliff Robertson, as the lead. A sort of celebrity pilot, aboard a 747 super jet, who had serious problems with alcohol. He hid the bottles in the men's room and always find a short moment "off duty" to go to the toilets and...The movie was about the suspicion around his strange behaviour, and the many tries of his hierarchy and colleagues to nail him.
I guess this film starring the great Denzell Washington is a bit different in the story itself, but I couldn't stop thinking of the Cliff Robertson's feature, when reading the topic of the Zemeckis' one. And I am sure that not so many movies talk about jet pilots and their problems with alcohol...
