The Pilot.

Based upon the 1993 non-fiction publication Howard Hughes: The Secret Life by Charles Higham, the movie shows the life of Howard Hughes, an aviation pioneer and director of the movie Hell's Angels The movie depicts his life from 1927 to 1947 during which time Hughes ended up being a successful movie producer and an air travel tycoon while at the same time growing a lot more unpredictable as a result of serious obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

The much but short heralded flight of Hughes' HK-1 Hercules on November 2, 1947, was realistically recreated in the Port of Long Coastline The movement control Spruce Goose and Hughes Hangar minis developed by New Bargain Studios get on display screen at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, with the original Hughes H-1 Spruce Goose.

Besides, Hughes is hardly averse at risking his life in other means, coming to be a record-smashing flying ace and later on getting TWA off the ground much to the discouragement of rival Juan Trippe (Alec Baldwin), the head of Frying pan Am.

Appearing at 169 mins, The Aviator attempts to remain up, but like Howard Hughes' much-too-big and much-too-heavy Spruce Goose (a.k.a. The Hercules), this cinematic jumbo can maintain itself airborne only a few mins each time.
