In the days after a forced water landing on the Hudson River, airplane pilot Captain Chesley Sullenberger (Tom Hanks) must defend himself in an inquiry by the NTSB to determine what, if anything, could have been done better.
My brother recommended this to me a long time ago. It's a little hagiographic for my taste but this is a solid Dad-movie directed (of course) by Clint Eastwood. Tom Hanks has the appropriate amount of gravitas, Aaron Eckhart radiates charm, and it's stuffed to the gills with character actors whom you'll recognize even if you have no idea what their names are. If you're looking for a nice quiet movie to put on so your dad can nod off while he swears he's just resting his eyes, look no further. It's engaging but not so much so that you'll be irritated if someone texts you while you're watching.
Currently streaming on HBO Max.
