Movie / Show Details

Martin Scorsese directed this 2004 biographical drama about Howard Hughes, the aviation pioneer and filmmaker who reshaped both industries during the early twentieth century. The film follows Hughes from 1927 through 1947 as he inherits his father’s machine tool company and builds it into one of the world’s largest aviation enterprises while simultaneously establishing himself as a Hollywood producer. Alongside his professional ambitions, Hughes battles an increasingly severe obsessive-compulsive disorder that threatens to consume his life. The cast includes Leonardo DiCaprio as Hughes, alongside Cate Blanchett, Alan Alda, Alec Baldwin, Brent Spiner, Danny Huston, and Adam Scott.
