In the film "Sully," directed by Clint Eastwood, the plot revolves around the extraordinary events surrounding the emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 and the subsequent investigation that followed. The movie delves into the personal and professional challenges faced by Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger (played by Tom Hanks) after he successfully, and against all odds, lands his malfunctioning plane on the Hudson River.

As the nation praises Sully as a hero, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) launches an investigation to determine whether Sullenberger made the right call in landing on the river instead of attempting to return to an airport runway. Initial computer simulations indicate that the plane could have made it back, which casts doubt on Sully's decision and puts his prestigious career as a pilot at stake.

Sully, along with his co-pilot Jeff Skiles (played by Aaron Eckhart), is initially confident in their actions, but the intense scrutiny and second-guessing from the NTSB create immense pressure. The board reconstructs the incident and holds hearings, leaving Sully to question his instincts and decisions.

Throughout the film, the intense psychological impact of the investigation on Sully's mental and emotional well-being is explored. He deals with vivid nightmares and self-doubt, questioning if he truly made the right decision. Additionally, the media circus and public attention surrounding the event further add to his stress.

Sully's wife, Lorraine (played by Laura Linney), supports him while he navigates the legal and emotional challenges, providing him with a constant source of strength. As the investigation progresses, independent simulations and actual data from the plane's recovered engines increasingly support Sully's decision. The investigation eventually concludes that Sully's actions saved every passenger's life, validating his instincts and expertise as a pilot.

In the end, the movie showcases the heroism of Captain Sully and the importance of trusting experienced professionals in times of crisis. It emphasizes the crucial role that quick decision-making and expertise play in life-or-death situations while addressing the consequences of public scrutiny and the toll it takes on individuals in the spotlight.
