A man successfully saves hundreds of lives but is unjustly vilified afterwards by the government.

I usually give clues after a couple hours, or every serious guess, it's been 25 hours, with 2 serious guesses.

It's based on a true story though the character was not vilified by the government in real life.

OK....this movie focuses on several storylines, one of which is on a man running an A.....er, place where planes take off and land.
A plane takes off with the following on board:
A man determined to commit suicide, and for some reason decides to take down a plane full of strangers.
But that's not enough, so....
Also on board is a serial stowaway.
But that's not enough, so....
Also on board is a pilot and stewardess (they were stewardesses then, dammit!) who were having an affair
But that's not enough, so....
The stewardess is pregnant
But that's not enough, so....
There is a huge snowstorm threatening to close the ai....er, place where planes take off and land.
But that's not enough, so....
There is also a pre-teen needing an operation (being flown out of Chicago, because it is apparently too small a town to have good medical facilities), and a nun with a guitar.
While in the air, Suicide Man detonates the bomb, blows a huge hole in the plane that threatens the lives of all on board, and the plane needs to make an emergency landing - this all happens after the plane has been in the air for a couple hours, so they need to look for an air.....a place where they can land the plane.
Rather than choose a facility where planes take off and land from a list of hundreds that they would be closer to, they inexplicably choose to fly all the way back to the facility where planes take off and land where they flew from initially....at a time when it is snowed in and has no open runways!
Crews work frantically to clear a runway while this plane that is making a long delayed emergency landing passes over countless facilities from which planes take off and land.
The plane naturally survives the several hour flight with a hole in its side, and all are happy returning the the original place where planes take off and land, the pregnant stewardess survives, the stowaway is naturally a kindly grandmother who is now a hero, and presumably the little girl no longer needs that operation because the nun played the guitar for her.
This is kind of vague, and hopefully does not apply to several different movies. I can add clues if nobody knows it.

That is the most generous description ever! Airport.

The right thing to do there was to guess Gone With The Wind or The Godfather.

If I was going that rout, I would have gone with Airplane!, something closer, plausible, but still messed up.
You want to try another mystery flick, go for it, that last one doesn't count.

While TL1961 thinks about it, I'll just leave this here.
The guy in charge saves the lives of 3 guys, then tells them they can't leave, ever. Two of the guys are okay with that because the place they are being held is totally cool and unlike anything they have ever seen, the third guy is looking to escape. Everything is fine for a while until the the guy in charge does something really fucked up. Now all 3 guys want to escape, so they do.
