Director: Clint Eastwood
Stars: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney
Clint Eastwood’s film is based on the story of Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger (portrayed by Tom Hanks), who became a hero after landing his damaged plane on the Hudson River on January 15, 2009.
As reported around this world, Sully’s “Miracle on the Hudson” saved the lives of 155 passengers. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public for his feat of skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and career.
A thrilling and suspenseful portrait of allegedly real events (see the divergent takes of the reviewers linked below), with a wonderfully understated performance by Hanks in the title role.
A selection of Reviews and commentaries from: The Telegraph; The Independent; and The Guardian, the latter questioning whether, in a ‘fact-based’ drama, the script introduces elements that do not seem to have happened. Appropriate in our post-truth world?

Director: Tom Tykwer
Stars: Tom Hanks, Alexander Black, Sarita Choudhury, Sidse Babett Knudsen
Alan Clay (Hanks) is a blundering business consultant in a mid-life crisis: his marriage has crumbled, his beautiful home is gone, and his daughter’s college tuition fees are at risk.
In a last attempt to save his skin, he travels to Saudi Arabia hoping to sell a virtual reality communication system to an elusive king.
However, these hopes become frail as each morning brings with it new problems and disappointments.
The estimable Hanks is ably supported by Black as his genial yet buffoonish chauffeur, and Choudhury as an alluring Saudi doctor.
