Saw this today with my family. We all know the story but this movie encompasses the rest of the story as Sully and his co-pilot are investigated by the NTSB as the computer simulations suggested he had time to land the plane at La Guardia or in New Jersey whereas Sully maintained that wasn't the case as both engines had failed due to birds. The NTSB stated that his left engine was still functional and had thrust to achieve the landing. Sully maintained he didn't. It wasn't until the investigation with flight simulations that proved Sully correct and he was exonerated.
Not only do we all remember this story but the heroics of this one man to land safely in the Hudson and not lose one of the 155 souls on board but for me it was somewhat more memorable as I was living in Danville in Northern California at the time. Sully also lived in Danville, in fact less than 2 miles from where I lived. I remember driving by his house only to see all of the news trucks parked outside
The movie was a short 90 minutes but well told by way of flash backs
Tom Hanks once again proves him self to be a chameleon as he played this role. He lost a lot of weight and truly looked like Sully who is seen at the end of the movie in the rolling credits. He remains IMO one of the best actors in Hollywood today
Definitely worth seeing.Good but not great
