Pushing Tin

ComedyDramaRomance124 min

John Cusack is Nick Falzone, a swaggering New York air traffic controller whose talent for handling crowded skies is matched by his appetite for risk. When Billy Bob Thornton’s Russell Bell joins the radar room, the two men turn every shift into a contest, trying to outdo each other at work and beyond it. Their rivalry spills past the airport into their personal lives, with Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie in the orbit of a feud that keeps widening.
