Based on the autobiography "Highest Duty" by Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, "Sully" tells the harrowing story of the Miracle on the Hudson, when US Airways Flight 1549 landed on the New York river with no fatalities. On Jan. 15, 2009, Captain Sullenberger (Hanks) and First Officer Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) boarded the flight, and just minutes into the trip, the plane hits a flock of birds, damaging both engines. Sullenberger lands the plane on the Hudson River to avoid a disaster, and all passengers are unscathed. However, despite being hailed as a hero, he faces an unrelenting press and an investigation from the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) that could interfere with his career.
