Tom Hanks seems like as nice guy. It's great to see a decent guy in Hollywood.

Of course, when you work in a city with Alec Baldwin, Chariie Sheen, and Sean Penn it isn't a high bar.
 
He does seem to be one. I want to see his "Sully" movie. I am reading the book.

Eh, they overdramatized the federal investigators so as to make them the antagonists. In reality, they were very respectful of Sully because he was a national hero and did something amazing. A lot of pilots at the FAA and NTSB, and their response was more along the lines of "holy **** how'd he do that."

They literally got a standing ovation in one of the hearings. ("They," because their was a copilot whose name nobody seems to know)

A central piece in the film is the question of whether the plane could have made it to a runway. The movie depicts this as a point of contention, in the film Sully had to convince the NTSB to rerun simulations to account for reaction time. In reality, the NTSB had already concluded that when accounting for human factors, (namely reaction time) the plane could not have made the airport.
