The film has echoes of the film "Sully", which was based on the story of Captain Sully Sullenberger, who successfully landed his stricken airliner¹ on the Hudson River, saving the lives of the 155 people on board.

 

"Chinese Captain" will follow the story of Sichuan Airlines Flight 3U8633 in May this year. At an altitude of 9,000 meters on its way from Chongqing to Lhasa, the cockpit window in front of the co-pilot burst. Co-pilot Xu Ruichen was pulled halfway² out of the window due to the sudden cabin decompression, and the control panel was badly damaged. In the face of this extreme situation, Pilot Liu Chuanjian remained calm and brought the plane to a safe emergency landing in Chengdu with no loss of life.
