Taglines: He’s the best damn pilot in the sky. Drunk or sober.
The Pilot movie storyline. Our Pilot, Mike Hagan is a great pilot, careful, thoughtful and uses his knowledge of flying to see trouble and avoid it. But his biggest trouble is he is an alcoholic. Unlike the movie “Flight”, Mike realizes his problem and is determined to “save himself”. But you can’t hide for ever and he seeks help from a fellow pilot. The other pilot’s program works, but once an alcoholic, always one except he doesn’t drink. Everything comes to a head, (no pun intended) for Mike as he now must face the reality of his job, The Pilot!
