Cruise considering turning ‘Hudson River plane rescue’ into movie

Washington, Jan 20: Tom Cruise has admitted that he is interested in turning last week`s Hudson River plane rescue into a blockbuster movie.The actor has revealed that he was left stunned by US Airways` Captain Chesley B ``Sully`` Sullenberger`s heroics as he landed his plane on the river after the craft collided with a flock of geese upon departure from New York`s LaGuardia airport.

All 155 passengers and crew were safely escorted from the sinking plane, and Cruise finds it unbelievable that the plane landing didn`t become a huge tragedy. "It`s remarkable," a website quoted Cruise, as saying. While speaking to US news show Entertainment Tonight, the actor said that he is keen to turn Captain Sullenberger`s heroics into a major movie. "I was with people today and they said, ‘There`s a movie in here.’ I`m thinking about that," he added. Cruise is also thinking about calling Capt Sullenberger personally - to express his admiration for the job he did. "To have done such a heroic job... I know what it`s like, because we train for emergencies and then for it to happen and to have it turn out the way it did - that`s how we want them all to end," he said. ANI
