Robert Zemeckis is getting back into the live-action business, directing “Flight,” starring Denzel Washington, Paramount Pictures said Friday.

The movie is a redemption tale about Whip, an airline pilot who lands a damaged plane, saving 98 lives on a flight with 106 people — think Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger with star power. The world considers him a hero, but he struggles with the label, “as he is forced to hold up to the scrutiny of an investigation that brings into question his behavior the night before the doomed flight.”

John Gatins, who wrote “Dreamer: Inspired By a True Story” and “Real Steel” wrote the script.
