Genre: Drama, Adventure
Conditions of visioning: 28.11.2016, Schauburg, OV Sneak Preview, English with German subtitle
Synopsis: On Thursday 15.01.2009, the world witnessed the "Miracle on the Hudson" when Captain Chesley Sullenberger, nicknamed "Sully" (Hanks) and his co-pilot Jeff Skiles (Eckhart), 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 aviation achievement, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.
Review: The story is good for the news and for a shorter movie. Many scenes have been added that nobody on this side of the Atlantic is interest in. Proud of being American. Fight against the bad insurance guys working for Airbus, a European company. All people did a great job for saving these lives so fast!
I took the movie as a summary of the events, a kind of reconstitution of the facts. For this it was nice to see. 
No added value as a movie. As documentary it is good and especially interesting for the families, and the people involved in the events.
Rating: 4 /10
