Sully arrived in theaters nine years ago. How time flies! Our hope is that you remember it fondly and might take this opportunity to see it once more. Click here to view the movie’s Trailer.
The movie Sully (2016), directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks, tells the true story of Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. In January 2009, after US Airways Flight 1549 strikes a flock of geese and loses both engines, Sully and his co-pilot Jeff Skiles make the extraordinary decision to land the plane on the Hudson River, saving all 155 people on board. While hailed as a hero by the public, Sully faces intense investigation from the National Transportation Safety Board, which questions whether he could have safely returned to an airport instead. The film shows both the harrowing emergency landing and the personal toll of the scrutiny afterward, ultimately highlighting Sully’s skill, judgment, and humility.
Sunset is a few minutes past 6:00 pm that day. The 2nd Floor Party Room will open at 5:45 pm, with fresh popcorn for early arrivers (and discreet English subtitles for those who sit close). Promptly at 6:00 pm we’ll have a show of hands as to who wants what kind of pizza at Intermission. And by 6:10 or so we should be underway, with Intermission halfway through and easily done by 8:30 pm. Free, of course, for Park Tower residents and their families.About the Author: Bob Shamo
