What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the autobiography "Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters" by Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow.
  • When Tom Hanks' character goes for a run through nighttime New York, a poster for the film "Gran Torino," also directed by Clint Eastwood, can be seen on one of the buildings.
  • The biplane flown by young Sully is a very rare Stearman Cloudboy model. At the time the film was made, only 6 such aircraft remained in working condition.
  • At the seventh minute, during a taxi ride, a fourth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee in the WK2 body style is visible, which began production in May 2010, however, the events of the film take place in January 2009.
  • At the thirty-ninth minute, as Sally runs through Times Square, slightly to the left of the Gran Torino movie advertisement, a display advertising the 2015-2016 LG OLED TV is visible—these televisions only began production in 2013, which is when the advertising campaign also began. Such advertising did not exist and could not have existed in 2009-2010.
  • The captain of the first ferry to reach the plane was Vincent Lombardi. He appeared on screen as himself.
  • Chesley Sullenberger, nicknamed “Sully,” was present at the studio. He acted as one of the scriptwriters and did everything he could to help the filmmakers achieve as much realism and correspondence to the real events as possible.
  • The film's director and producer, Clint Eastwood, deliberately filmed scenes of people boarding the life raft without prior rehearsals. He wanted to show how difficult it actually is. The actions of Tom Hanks (who played the main character) and Aaron Eckhart (who played the second pilot Jeff) were not detailed in the script.
  • Filming was organized at the New York Marriott Downtown hotel, where the victims of the emergency landing were actually accommodated at the time.
  • During the preparation for filming, Tom Hanks spent half a day talking with Chesley Sullenberger. He later admitted that he was surprised by how accurately Hanks portrayed him on screen.
  • After the emergency landing, the Airbus A320 aircraft was retrieved from the Hudson River and transferred to the aviation museum located in Charlotte, the largest city in the state of North Carolina. According to the plot, the emergency flight was headed to Charlotte. During the credits, real passengers and the crew of US-Airways-1549 were shown on the screen.
  • Detectives Robert Rodriguez and Michael Delaney from the New York City Police Department’s special unit played themselves in the helicopter jump scene.
  • Real pilots were involved in the simulator scenes.
  • During filming, which took place shortly after the plane crash, the filmmakers first captured the vast empty space on the surface of the Hudson River, surrounded by rescue boats. They then combined these shots with footage of an old A320 aircraft on an artificial lake at Universal Studios in California.
  • Many years ago, Clint Eastwood himself survived an emergency plane landing on water, hence his genuine interest in this particular story.
  • At the thirty-ninth minute, as Sally runs across Times Square, slightly to the left of the Gran Torino movie advertisement, a display advertising LG OLED TVs from 2015-2016 is visible. These televisions only began production in 2013, which is when the advertising campaign started. Such advertising did not exist and could not have existed in 2009-2010.
  • When Tom Hanks’ character goes for a run through nighttime New York, a poster for the film “Gran Torino,” also directed by Clint Eastwood, can be spotted on one of the buildings.
  • At the 55th minute of the film, when Sully checks the tail of the plane for any remaining passengers, he wades waist-deep into the water, getting his trousers and shirt wet. When Sully enters the cockpit in the next shot, his clothes are already dry.
