Honest biopic about a real-life hero!

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2020)

In this Clint Eastwood biopic about a "successful" plane crash in the middle of the Hudson River, New York, Tom Hanks plays the experienced pilot, Chesley Sullenberg a.k.a. "Sully". With his co-pilot (Aaron Eckhart) by his side, he lands the plane with all 155 passengers and staff surviving - a true miracle.
Sully is widely praised by the public as a hero, but he is still put for a trial, because of the dangerous methods he had to use during the failure of both engines of the plane.
Sully is a family man with a lot of heart and brains and is full of courage, charisma and self belief.
The scenery and storytelling are very realistic and the acting is quite good by both Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart, with his big mustache.

Clint Eastwood's directing is pretty damn alright
Some awesome and moving scenes during the plane crash and in the courtroom.
A very realistic and honest biopic with subplots of family, friendship and courtroom drama.
