Flight (2012)

The pilot Whip Whitaker manages to make an emergency landing on a damaged plane, saving most of the passengers on board. Although initially vindicated as a national hero, when an investigation is conducted to determine the cause of the accident, it is discovered that Whip had alcohol in his blood. Emotionally disturbed, his life spirals out of control and his mental health is at risk. A well-told film, with a dramatic pulse and a tension sustained by Denzel Washington's excellent performance.
