Studio Synopsis: One of the most compelling figures of the 20th century, Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio) was an influential innovator, savvy industrialist, glamorous motion picture producer and quintessential American risk-takerÑbut he thought of himself first and foremost as an aviator. With The Aviator, director Martin Scorsese focuses his storytelling lens on the most prolific period of HughesÕ life: the period from the mid-1920s through the 1940s, when HughesÕ daring-do and passion for flight drove his pioneering efforts in both aviation and the movies. A time of rampant invention, turbulent love affairs and savage corporate battles, this was also the time when Howard HughesÕ high-flying ambitions first met with the costs of fame, fortune and his own obsession with perfection.
