"Don't tell me I can't do it; don't tell me it can't be done!"
Billionaire and aviation tycoon Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a successful public figure: a director of big-budget Hollywood films such as "Hell's Angels," a passionate lover of Hollywood leading ladies Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett) and Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale), and an aviation pioneer who helps build TWA into a major airline. But in private, Hughes remains tormented, suffering from paralyzing phobias and depression. The higher he rises, the farther has to fall.
Release date: December 25, 2004 (USA)
Director: Martin Scorsese
Awards: BAFTA Award for Best Film
Nominations: Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role
Running time: 2h 35m
