Starring actor Zhang Hanyu, the film is based on heroic Sichuan Airlines pilot Liu Chuanjian, who completed one of the most miraculous emergency landings in China's civil aviation history.
On May 14 last year, Liu was the captain of an airliner heading from Chongqing to Lhasa, capital of the Tibet autonomous region.
Around 40 minutes after takeoff, a piece of the cockpit windshield shattered, sucking his co-pilot halfway out of the plane.With the temperature plummeting to-40 C and the plane losing its automatic control system, Liu, a former air force veteran, landed the plane in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, saving the lives of 119 passengers.
