Thanks to sharp instincts and a colourful past, Robert Piché found the strength to land his out-of-fuel plane and save the lives of the 306 people on board. In detox for alcoholism after surviving his heroic act, he must relive not only this dramatic incident, but also his time in prison. He cannot give meaning to his life without coming to terms with his past. The film Piché: The Landing of Man is the story of a risk taker getting back on his feet. Behind the hero, there is a deeply flawed and sensitive soul, which makes this man even larger than life.
