One of the 20th century's most compelling figures,
Howard Hughes was a wily industrialist, glamorous
movie producer and unstoppable American innovator-
but he thought of himself first and foremost as an
aviator. In this spectacular epic, director Martin Scorsese
focuses on the most prolific period in the life of
Hughes (played by Best Actor Golden Globe®
Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio): the
mid-1920s through the 1940s. It was a
time of brilliant aeronautical invention,
turbulent love affairs (including
one with Katharine Hepburn,
played by Cate Blanchett)
and savage corporate
battles. Prepare
yourself for the
ride of the lifetime
of this billionaire,
genius, madman.
