Pushing Tin is a 1999 American comedy-drama film directed by Mike Newell. It centers on Nick Falzone (John Cusack), a cocky air traffic controller who quarrels over proving "who's more of a man" with fellow employee Russell Bell (Billy Bob Thornton). The film is loosely based on the real-world New York TRACON radar facility. The film was a box-office failure and received mixed reviews. The original music score was composed by Anne Dudley and Chris Seefried.
