First Trailer of Tom Hanks as Capt. Sully Released

— -- The first trailer of "Sully" — Clint Eastwood's film about Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot who successfully landed a jet in the Hudson River in 2009 — has finally arrived. Tom Hanks plays the confident and unflappable captain in the highly anticipated film.

In the clip we see Sully dealing with the aftermath of the emergency landing, especially the investigation into whether it was necessary. Aaron Ekhart co-stars in the movie.

In an interview with People on Wednesday, Eckhart said he and Hanks practiced the landing on a flight simulator.

"We had the transcripts and the radio conversation between Sully and the tower, to hear how calm he was and how precise. It was great filming those scenes and everybody getting out on the wing and seeing Tom take charge," Eckhart says. "It was a blast."

For the movie, Eastwood had an Airbus A320 disassembled and set up in a pool on a movie set.

"I've been making movies for a long time, but whenever you see a complete plane in a pool right there — it blew us away. Everybody was very impressed with that," Eckhart told People.

"Sully" is due in theaters Sept. 9.
