The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Come from Away will be adapted into a film, with The Mark Gordon Company investing in the production. The original author, lyricist Irene Sankoff and David Hein will write the script, and the director of the drama Christopher Ashley has also confirmed to direct the film. Set after the 9/11 incident, 38 planes unexpectedly landed in the small town of Gander in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, stranding 7,000 passengers. Forced to stop flying, the residents of the town warmly welcomed and accepted all the passengers, and their generosity and kindness formed a sharp contrast with the terrorist attacks. Cultures collided with each other, people's emotions were high, uneasiness turned into trust, music resounded through the night, and gratitude eventually formed a long-lasting friendship. The musical was a great success, received excellent reviews, was nominated for 7 Tony Awards, and finally won the Best Musical Director Award.
