Movie mogul... record-breaking aviation enthusiast... playboy companion to the 1930s’ most beautiful movie stars... believe it or not, Howard Hughes was all of these things, and here Leonardo di Caprio brings him to life in Martin Scorsese's ode to the Golden Age of cinema. We follow Hughes as he reaches for every (seemingly) impossible dream, from shooting the most expensive film, to building the world's biggest plane, whilst struggling against his tragic obsessive-compulsive disorder. A compelling and fascinating true story told on an epic scale with a big helping of old-school Hollywood glamour.

Im sorry to say this but i think this is the worst film i have ever seen. i went to see it with my grandparents and was sat in the cinemas falling asleep for nearly 3 hours. normally in the cinema time flies but in this movie it didnt. if you like OCD’s and aeroplanes this is the film for you but it is a really wierd film and a biography of someones life. sorry Martin Scorsese but this film wasnt for me

Fascinating facts

Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Katharine Hepburn makes her the first actress to win an Oscar for playing a multiple Oscar winner (Hepburn with a record 4 wins).
