Phenomenal public success contrasts with private behaviors close to madness: Howard Hughes from the late 1920s to the late 1940s, from "Hells Angels" (spending a fortune on details) through the only flight of the Hercules, a huge, money-losing transport plane. Along the way, the public Hughes sees the big picture - in movies and in aviation, building TWA and leading it through a fight with Pan Am and the US Senate. In private, phobias and compulsions threaten him with self-imposed solitary confinement. How long can his imagination, drive, and the sympathies of Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and the men who work for him stave off these internal disorders?
:smt024 It was a long movie, almost 3 hours. The beginning was very slow and confusing as to what's going on. There is an awesome crash scene involving a plane. The public hearing towards the end of the movie is pretty damn good. I thought the end of the movie sucked. It sort of just ends with too many questions unanswered.
