    • Trivia
      Ferry Captain Vincent Lombardi, who was the Captain of the first ferry to reach the airplane, played himself in this film.
    • Goofs
      During the take-off scene First Officer Skiles has his hands on the throttles all the time, from the runway till the plane is airborne. In reality A320 pilots must immediately take their hands off the throttle as soon the plane has reached V1 speed.
    • Quotes

      Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Everything is unprecedented until it happens for the first time.

    • Crazy credits
      Photos of the real plane and rescue are shown during the credits. They are followed by a brief video with real people from that day including the passengers and Captain Sullenburger.
    • Alternate versions
      The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

    The Hero of the Hudson River

    On January 15th 2009, after a bird strike with the loss of two turbines, Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger (Tom Hanks) and First Officer Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) land an Airbus A320 with 155 passengers on the Hudson River saving their lives. Sully is claimed a hero by the press and public; however the official investigation reports that one of the left engines was running at idle and not damaged. And the flight simulator indicates that it would be possible to land at LaGuardia or Teterboro. Sully has to defend himself to the commission; otherwise Sully has to defend his reputation and career showing new evidences of the incident. Will he succeed?

    "Sully" is another great film directed by Clint Eastwood with Tom Hanks in the lead role. These two names would be enough to show the quality of this movie. But the story is excellent, based on the biography of Sully and the screenplay keeps the attention of the viewer until the credits. In addition, there are Aaron Eckhart and Laura Linney in a support role. In the end, "Sully" is a great tribute to the hero of the Hudson River. Mt vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Sully: O Herói do Rio Hudson" ("Sully: the Hero of the Hudson River")
