The Pilot 2004 .

Based on the 1993 non-fiction publication Howard Hughes: The Secret Life by Charles Higham, the movie shows the life of Howard Hughes, an air travel pioneer and supervisor of the movie Heck's Angels The film depicts his life from 1927 to 1947 during which time Hughes ended up being a successful movie producer and an air travel mogul while all at once expanding much more unpredictable because of extreme obsessive-compulsive problem (OCD).

Actually, as for this reviewer is worried the most stirring, the majority of unforgettable minute in Martin Scorsese and John Logan's The Aviator isn't the (unquestionably excellent) airborne battle at the start of the film, or Bookmarks the plane accident later on, or any of the social goings-on.

It is a historic legendary that concentrated on a key duration in the life of Howard Hughes among one of the most well-known and arguably essential males of the twentieth century. Also if it's not a full success, nor one of his best motion pictures, I still find it to be a lot more enjoyable than most of junk Hollywood craps out on a regular basis.

Clocking in at 169 minutes, The Pilot attempts to remain aloft, but like Howard Hughes' much-too-big and much-too-heavy Spruce Goose (a.k.a. The Hercules), this cinematic big can maintain itself in the air just a few mins at once.
