"Hey, don't tell me how to lie about my drinking, okay? I know how to lie about my drinking. I've been lying about my drinking my whole life." - Whip Whitaker

Plot Summary: An airline pilot miraculously crash-lands a malfunctioning plane, saving most of the passengers onboard. He's hailed a hero, but an investigation into the incident reveals troubling information about his conduct during the flight. This leads to a personal battle with addiction and the potential repercussions of his actions that could cost him everything.

Dad's Preview: Denzel portrays an alcoholic airline pilot, Whip Whitaker, who miraculously crash-lands his plane after a mechanical failure, saving nearly everyone on board. As investigators uncover unsavory things about his life, his heroism is called into question. Denzel's performance is one of his best, and the crash scenes are harrowing to watch. Once again Don Cheadle, as calm and cool as can be, lends his considerable talents as Whip's honest attorney.
