View The Pilot.

Based upon the 1993 non-fiction book Howard Hughes: The Secret Life by Charles Higham, the film portrays the life of Howard Hughes, an air travel leader and director of the film Heck's Angels The film represents his life from 1927 to 1947 during which time Hughes came to be a successful film producer and an air travel tycoon while at the same time growing more unstable as a result of severe obsessive-compulsive condition (OCD).

Paradoxically, as far as this reviewer is worried the most stirring, the majority of unforgettable minute in Martin Scorsese and John Logan's The Aviator isn't the (admittedly excellent) airborne fight at the start of the film, or the airplane accident in the future, or bookmarks any of the social goings-on.

It is a historic epic that concentrated on a key duration in the life of Howard Hughes among the most probably important and renowned men of the twentieth century. Also if it's not a complete success, nor among his ideal movies, I still find it to be extra enjoyable than the majority of scrap Hollywood blacks out on an once a week basis.

Appearing at 169 mins, The Pilot attempts to remain up, yet like Howard Hughes' much-too-big and much-too-heavy Spruce Goose (a.k.a. The Hercules), this cinematic big can keep itself airborne only a few mins at a time. Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes and Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn The Pilot images: Miramax Warner Bros
