Plot:
Jan. 15, 2009, a routine day for Pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenburger as he prepares to board US Airways flight 1549 departing from LaGuardia Airport. Sully taxis his A320 to runway 1 and takes off. Three minutes into the air, disaster strikes, which cripples both engines of the A320. Without engine power and no airport within range, Sully is forced to land his ill-fated airliner in the frigid waters of the Hudson River. With 155 passengers and crew on board, Sully, against all odds, successfully ditches the aircraft and is dubbed a "hero." But soon after, Sully's life is invaded by reporters and investigators who force Sully to put his job, family and reputation on the line. This is the story of what we know today as "The Miracle on the Hudson."
