Based on the 1993 non-fiction book Howard Hughes: The Secret Life by Charles Higham, the movie depicts the life of Howard Hughes, an aviation pioneer and director of the film Heck's Angels The movie represents his life from 1927 to 1947 throughout which time Hughes became an effective film manufacturer and an air travel tycoon while at the same time growing a lot more unsteady as a result of extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Paradoxically, as far as this reviewer is concerned the most mixing, Bookmarks the majority of remarkable moment in Martin Scorsese and John Logan's The Pilot isn't the (unquestionably excellent) airborne fight at the start of the film, or the plane collision later, or any one of the social goings-on.

Besides, Hughes is rarely averse at risking his life in various other methods, ending up being a record-smashing flying ace and later obtaining TWA off the ground much to the discouragement of rival Juan Trippe (Alec Baldwin), the head of Pan Am. The Aviator with Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn and Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes.

Appearing at 169 mins, The Pilot attempts to remain up, yet like Howard Hughes' much-too-heavy and much-too-big Spruce Goose (a.k.a. The Hercules), this motion picture big can keep itself airborne only a few mins each time.
