Flight
The movie Flight was about a commuter airline pilot whose name was Whip Whitaker. When he was flying from Orlando to Atlanta something went wrong with the engine and the plan started to fly erratically. Somehow the pilot landed the plane and saved almost all passengers. When Whip Whitaker woke up in the hospital, one of his friends from the airline union had brought him a lawyer to tell him that there was a chance he might face some criminal charges because they found that his blood test showed that he was intoxicated with cocaine and alcohol. During the investigation his lawyer asked him to keep his act together and to stay away from alcohol, but he was addicted to it so he couldn't listen to his lawyer and started to drink again. When it was time for his court date, he was drunk and his friends tried to help him out by bringing him some cocaine so he could restore his awareness. He could have had the charges dismissed by denying that he was drunk before he flew, but he chose not to, and told the judge that he did drink before the flight and that he was drunk now in the court because he was alcoholic.
