See the full lineupAbout the film:
Howard Hughes was a wily industrialist, glamorous movie producer and unstoppable American innovator, but thought of himself first and foremost as an aviator. In this spectacular epic, director Martin Scorsese focuses on the most prolific period in the life of Hughes: the mid-1920s through the 1940s. It was a time of brilliant aeronautical invention, turbulent love affairs and savage corporate battles. Prepare yourself for the ride of a visionary lifetime.
“a rather fascinating and compelling stand-alone story about an industrious, fastidious, obsessive man”
—Namrata Joshi, Outlook
Among other accolades, The Aviator (2004) received eleven Academy Award nominations and won five, including Best Cinematography and Best Supporting Actress for Cate Blanchett.
