Description: THE AVIATOR -2 Disc Full Screen Edition Starring LEONARDO DiCAPRIO, CATE BLANCHETT Color Running time approximately 170 minutes LANGUAGE: English, French SUBTITLES: English French, Spanish 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 Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio): the mid-1920's through the 1940s. It was a time of brilliant aeronautical invention, turbulent love affairs (including one with Katherine Hepburn, played by Cate Blanchett) and savage corporate battles. Prepare yourself for the ride of the lifetime of this billionaire, genius, madman. THE AVIATOR is a lavish spectacle concentrating on Howard Hughes' life between the 1920s and 40s, when he made striking contributions to both the film and aviation industries. At the same time, he became an unabashed playboy bedding the likes of Jean Harlow, Ava Gardner, and Katherine Hepburn. In the mid 30s, he turned his attention to the aviation industry, where he quickly became world-renowned for shattering speed and distance records. Hughes was a risk taker spending several fortunes on designing experimental aircraft and eventually founding TWA as a rival to Pan Am airlines owned by his great rival Juan Trippe. When Trippe's politico Senator Ralph Owen Brewster accuses Hughes of being a war profiteer, taking money from the U S government during wartime, it's Hughes who gains the upper hand.
