Sully is an upcoming American biographical drama film directed and co-produced by Clint Eastwood and written by Todd Komarnicki, about the US Airways Flight 1549 and Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, based on the autobiography Highest Duty by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow. The film stars Tom Hanks as Sullenberger, with Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney, Anna Gunn, Autumn Reeser, Holt McCallany, Jamey Sheridan and Jerry Ferrara in supporting roles.

However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.
Join me today for a conversation with Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the author of Highest Duty, and subject of the new film, "Sully," from Warner Bros., opening 9/9/16 nationwide.
