View The Aviator.

Based upon the 1993 non-fiction book Howard Hughes: The Secret Life by Charles Higham, the movie portrays the life of Howard Hughes, an aviation leader and director of the movie Hell'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 all at once growing more unstable due to severe obsessive-compulsive condition (OCD).

Ironically, as far as this reviewer is concerned one of the most stirring, most remarkable minute in Martin Scorsese and John Logan's The Aviator isn't the (undoubtedly outstanding) aerial fight at the beginning of the film, or the aircraft crash in the future, or any of the interpersonal goings-on.

Besides, Hughes is barely averse in jeopardy his life in other methods, ending up being a record-smashing flying ace and later obtaining TWA off the ground a lot to the discouragement of rival Juan Trippe (Alec Baldwin), Bookmarks the head of Pan Am.

Clocking in at 169 minutes, The Aviator attempts to stay up, yet like Howard Hughes' much-too-heavy and much-too-big Spruce Goose (a.k.a. The Hercules), this cinematic jumbo can maintain itself in the air only a few minutes each time.
