WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In early 2009, pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger (Hanks) successfully lands a disabled passenger airline onto the Hudson River, saving the lives of everyone on board. As the media portrays him as a hero, Sully begins to suffer from a severe trauma following the incident, while an investigation into the crash could ruin his heroic reputation…
