The landmark George Washington Bridge is seen in a number of movies set in New York, commonly in establishing shots. The first film to show the bridge was "Ball of Fire" (1941), a screwball comedy. In the 1948 crime film noir "Force of Evil", Leo Morse (Thomas Gomez) is buried under the bridge by the mob of gangsters employing his brother, Joe Morse (John Garfield). In the 1976 film "Network", the character Max Schumacher (William Holden) tells a funny story in which, having overslept for a news shoot about the new lower deck at the bridge, he gets into a cab wearing a raincoat over his pajamas and tells the taxi driver to "take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge." The taxi driver, concerned that Schumacher intended to jump from the bridge, turns around and begs him: "Don't do it buddy! You're a young man!" The 2016 film "Sully", a movie depicting Captain Chesley Sullenberger's 2009 emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, reenacts how Sullenberger overflew the George Washington Bridge by a few hundred feet. The bridge was also shown in "The Godfather" (1972), and "Cop Land" (1997), among other films.
