On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain “Sully” Sullenberger glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.
Insider’s tip: “Sully is an absolute triumph” (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times). Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times adds: “Efficient and effective in Eastwood’s experienced hands, Sully has interwoven a crisp and electric retelling of the story of the landing we know with a story we do not.” Manohla Dargis, The New York Times: “The movie is economical and solid, and generally low-key when it’s not freaking you out. That it unnerves you as much as it does may seem surprising, given that going in, we know how this story ends. But Mr. Eastwood is also very good at his job, a talent that gives the movie its tension along with an autobiographical sheen.”
