As suspenseful as aviation movies can be, they can also be highly informative, like "Sully." This biographical drama film directed by Clint Eastwood is the historic retelling of when US Airways Flight 1549 collided with a flock of geese resulting in an emergency safety landing in New York's Hudson River. Thanks to heroic pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, all 155 people aboard survived. This resulted in one of most famous photos in aviation history. The investigation that transpired led Sully's career, reputation, and sanity into a downward spiral.
