Clint Eastwood's 'Sully' was released in theaters in the United States and Canada on this day in 2016. Based on the 2009 autobiography 'Highest Duty' by Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, Tom Hanks stars in the title role alongside Aaron Eckhart and Laura Linney. The movie tells the incredible true story of Sullenberger's January 2009 emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River in which all 155 passengers and crew survived and the publicity and investigation that followed.

'Sully' opened to positive reviews and grossed more than $240 million worldwide but was subject to some controversy for its portrayal of the National Transportation Safety Board.
