The Aviator | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

One of the 20th century's most compelling figures, Howard Hughes was a wily industrialist, glamorous movie producer and unstoppable American innovator - but he 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 (played by Best Actor Golden Globe winner Leonardo DiCaprio): the mid- 1920s through the 1940s. It was a time of brilliant aeronautical invention, turbulent love affairs (including one with Katherine Hepburn, played by Kate Blanchett) and savage corporate battles. Prepare yourself for the ride of the lifetime of this billionaire, genius, madman.
