Flight stars Denzel Washington as a pilot battling addiction, but the true story that inspired the events of the film is way more tragic.
Flight follows the fictitious story of Flight 277 and its protagonist William 'Whip" Whitaker played by Denzel Washington. The events of the film were inspired by true events involving a pilot actually inverting a commercial airplane in order to stabilize and save the lives of most of its passengers. The 2012 thriller was directed by Robert Zemeckis, who is a pilot himself, and has also directed classic films such as Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, and Cast Away.
Flight 277 in Flight was not based on a true story and was loosely inspired by the real events of Alaska Airline Flight 261. Brief instances of dialogue used in Flight were taken directly from Flight 261's CVR transcript, or the conversations that took place between the pilots in the cockpit and other messages given to crew members and passengers on the overhead speaker.
