Sully shares a September release date with another film about a man who stands up for what he believes is right: Snowden. Directed by Oliver Stone, it tells the story.

Since 1. 97. 5, this bungalow, in the shadow of the massive Soundstage 3, has been the home of Clint Eastwood's production company, and when Eastwood and I walk up to the front door, we both notice the shells, bleaching in the hard- white late- afternoon sun.

Over the past few weeks, he has been holed up in one of the editing bays here, his six- foot- three frame splayed out in an old brown Barcalounger, working with his editor to finish Sully, the thirty- fifth film he's directed in a career that stretches back to 1. Sully, which stars Tom Hanks as Captain Chesley Burnett Sullenberger, the pilot who landed his disabled plane in the Hudson River in 2. Eastwood's films of late—the story of a man who takes action and does what is right but suffers consequences at the hands of second- guessers. And he raised me with integrity—to be places on time, show up, and work hard.

Directed by Oliver Stone, it tells the story of Edward Snowden and features Eastwood's son Scott as Snowden's superior at the NSA. It is the biggest role to date for the thirty- year- old.
