13 Awesome Movies To Watch This Summer (Which Aren't Blockbusters)
1. Sully
Release Date: September 9
The Plot: The real-life story of American pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger (Tom Hanks), who in 2009 performed the seemingly impossible feat of landing troubled flight US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River with zero power and, insanely, zero fatalities.
Why It's Going To Be Awesome: It's an incredible true story that most will still remember, and as if Hanks being in it wasn't a huge stamp of approval, it's also got Clint Eastwood directing, with a supporting cast including Anna Gunn, Aaron Eckhart (playing Sully's First Officer), Laura Linney, Sam Huntington and Jerry Ferrara.
Everyone involved has proven their skill countless times over, and so it seems like the perfect mix for an awards-friendly, crowd-pleasing drama. One can only imagine how intensely Eastwood will stage the famous rescue sequence, and who better than Hanks to play a hero everyone loves?
