In late October 2018, Sullenberger wrote an op-ed in "The Washington Post" ahead of the 2018 mid-term elections, calling on Americans to vote “for leaders who are committed to the values that will unite and protect us”, who would show “moral compass ... competence, integrity, and concern for the greater good”. In a subsequent interview with Lawrence O'Donnell, Sullenberger elaborated his position, discussing his belief that voters should act as a check and balance in a partisan government. In February 2020, Sullenberger endorsed former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden for the presidency. The 2016 dramatic feature film "Sully" was adapted from Sullenberger's memoir "Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters". Directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks as Sullenberger and Aaron Eckhart as Skiles, it recreates the events around the Hudson River landing. Sullenberger's speech before Congress concerning U.S. civil aviation is featured in Michael Moore's 2009 documentary "". Sullenberger is also referred to in the 2011 romantic comedy film "Friends with Benefits". Throughout the film, Justin Timberlake's character repeatedly suggests to people he meets aboard planes that modern airplanes practically fly themselves, and that Sullenberger's feat was less impressive than it was portrayed, an idea for which he encounters incredulity and hostility. Mila Kunis' character is also seen reading Sullenberger's English Wikipedia article. The 2010 song "A Real Hero", by French electronica artist College and the band Electric Youth, is about Captain Sullenberger and the Flight 1549 water landing. Frontman Austin Garrick was inspired to write the song by his grandfather, whose reference to Sullenberger as "a real human being and a real hero" became the song's refrain. Radio personality Garrison Keillor wrote "Pilot Song: The Ballad of Chesley Sullenberger III" for the January 17, 2009 edition of his radio variety show "A Prairie Home Companion". Sullenberger appeared as himself in a cameo role in the 2017 film "Daddy's Home 2". "Hudson River Runway", the March 14, 2011, episode of the TV series "Mayday", documents the events around Flight 1549's emergency landing, and contains interviews with several of its real-life participants. Captain Sullenberger is not interviewed in the show, but is portrayed in reenactments by actor Christopher Britton.
