Movies: Sully; The Witness for the Prosecution

A new IMAX trailer for Sully, Clint Eastwood's film based on the book Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters by "Miracle on the Hudson" airline pilot Chesley B. Sullenberger (with Jeffrey Zaslow), also features interview clips with the director.

"Until I read the script I didn't know the investigative board was trying to paint the picture that he had done the wrong thing," Eastwood says. "They were kind of railroading him. That wasn't the case at all."

The film, starring Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart and Laura Linney, hits theaters September 9.
