PanARMENIAN.Net - Tom Hanks was spotted in New York City on the set of "Sully", a movie about real-life hero Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. It gave the first look at the actor as the "Miracle on the Hudson" pilot. He was seen wearing a suit and having grey hair and moustache, AceShowbiz reports.

Captain Sully became a national hero after miraculously landing a crippled U.S. Airways Flight 1549 in New York's Hudson River. His plane began to malfunction shortly after takeoff and he was forced to take drastic measures in order to save the lives of 155 passengers.

The upcoming biopic is based on Sully's autobiography "Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters". Clint Eastwood serves behind the lens. Aaron Eckhart is tapped to play Sully's co-pilot named Jeff Skiles.
