The Aviator

"The Aviator," concerning itself with the earlier years of Howard Hughes' life and not those when he wore Kleenex boxes on his feet and kept his urine in jars, finds Leonardo DiCaprio portraying the troubled genius from 1930 until 1947, from Hollywood to Las Vegas casinos, from oil fields to battlefields. When his father's will left him three-quarters of his company, young Howard moves to Hollywood to take on moviemaking, eventually running RKO Pictures and spawning the careers of starlets like Jean Harlowe, Katherine Hepburn and Ava Gardner (played, respectively, by Gwen Stefani, Cate Blanchett and Kate Beckinsale). But, never content to feel as though he was standing still, Hughes extends his grasp into everything he can find, including aviation when he buys TWA Airlines. When the war began he shifted his interests towards defense, and created the now-infamous Spruce Goose, a flying arsenal. Focusing on the relationships with with friends and enemies alike, Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" will take you on a high-flying ride.
