Soaring through the golden age of Hollywood and the dawn of the jet age, this epic biographical drama charts the brilliant and turbulent life of aviation pioneer and film mogul Howard Hughes. Leonardo DiCaprio delivers a commanding performance as Hughes, a man whose boundless ambition drives him to revolutionize both cinema with his epic Hell's Angels and aviation with his groundbreaking aircraft designs. Yet, as his empire expands, his meticulously ordered world is threatened by debilitating obsessive-compulsive disorder and fierce rivals in both business and government, including a shrewd senator played by Alec Baldwin. Amidst the glamour of his romances with iconic actresses like Katharine Hepburn Cate Blanchett and Ava Gardner Kate Beckinsale, Hughes wages a relentless, high-stakes battle to protect his legacy and his sanity. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film is a visually stunning and psychologically intense portrait of a visionary whose greatest triumphs and most profound struggles were fought in the relentless glare of the public eye.
