Pushing Tin

• Comedy
• Drama

A darkly comedic exploration of masculinity and control unfolds within the high-pressure environment of Long Island's air traffic control towers. This isn’t a typical workplace comedy, but a character study of two men – a reckless newcomer and a jaded veteran – locked in a passive-aggressive battle for dominance, fueled by personal insecurities and a desperate need to feel alive. The film portrays the monotony and quiet desperation of their lives, punctuated by increasingly risky professional gambits, mirroring a failing marriage and a midlife crisis. Beneath the surface of competitive banter and near misses lies a poignant commentary on the limitations of bravado, the fragility of ego, and the unspoken loneliness of maintaining order in a chaotic world.
