The story of the movie is mostly about the recent airplane crash of US-Bangla Airlines Flight 211 [12 March 2018] at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal. An airplane crashed with all of its passengers. Though 51 people died in that real accident, amazingly everyone was saved in the movie Sully: Miracle on the Hudson).
I am exactly talking about the movie Sully that was acted perfectly by Tom Hanks. Where Tom Hanks played a character of an original pilot named Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. He was an expert & experienced pilot and the movie Sully is just based on captain Chesley Sully’s real accident that exactly happened on January 15th, 2009, where Chesley Sullenberger, nicknamed “Sully” glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River. And amazingly, he saved every single person of that flight. Yes, you guess right, this is a pure true story based movie.
Captain Sully [Tom Hanks] is an expert airplane captain with his co-pilot Jeff Skiles [Aaron Eckhart] of US Airways Flight 1549, an airplane full of passengers got an air crash. But all the passengers got saved with a great miracle. Though everyone got saved sadly the captain sully got questioned with his 42 years flying experienced career. He forced the aeroplane to crash on the Hudson River.
Later, Captain Sully becomes a superhero to society by the affluence of the media. But the question was raised by the National Transportation Safety Board [NTSB]. They claimed that the aeroplane could have been safely returned to the airport and this was Sully’s fault that he forced it as an air crash. And with modern equipment & technology, they made a simulation where they showed that he could land more safely but he didn't. Here comes the frustration and mental trauma for Captain Sully and questioned by his conscience. Is this his fault or his decision was wrong? Could he go for any other good alternatives to save the aeroplane? To revile these questions you have to watch the movie till the end.

Sooner or later the court agrees with the National Transportation Safety Board [NTSB], that the airplane could safely return to the airport without doing any accident but for this, he needs to attempt 17 times. With the all report and the authorities thinking that captain Sully did it safely not for the miracle but none can do this perfectly in his situation.
All the 155 people who got saved in the real accident happened on January 15, 2009, who celebrates their luck every year on the same day. Their celebration somehow inspired the movie director Clint Eastwood to make this movie. The story of the movie was taken from the biography Highest Duty: My Search for What Matters which was written by the real captain Chesley Sullenberger and his co-pilot Jeffrey Zaslow.
This biography & drama genre movie has no action scene or any hidden suspense. But it is framed so perfectly that holds the true suspense of the movie. The simple narration and revealing incident of this movie will amaze you and force you to see the full movie. This 96-minutes run time super hit movie was a great business success where the movie made $240.8 million with the lowest budget of $60 million.
So, If you are a true fan of Tom Hanks and as a movie freak you should enjoy this movie.
