            Tom Hanks and Clint Eastwood making a movie together? It’s a match made in heaven, even more so, when the project they’re working together on is based on true events. Today, the trailer for Sully dropped which is based on the true story of Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger landing a disabled plane on the waters of the Hudson, saving the lives of all 155 people onboard. It was deemed by many as “The Miracle on the Hudson”. The movie not only features the landing, but also what happened after, an investigation into the event that almost destroyed Sully’s career as a pilot.

            The film looks to do more than just show the events of what happened back in 2009, but also goes more into the study of the man who was able to orchestrate the landing. He was given insane media coverage after the landing and had newfound and unwanted fame which led to accusations surrounding him. Clint Eastwood’s last film American Sniper was a fantastic film that was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 2015. Tom Hanks was last seen in a movie that was also nominated for Best Picture but this was at the Academy Awards ceremony this year, titled Bridge of Spies directed by Steven Spielberg.

            Watch the first trailer for Sully below. The movie will be released on September 9^th and also stars Aaron Eckhart and Laura Linney.
