The Pilot Reviews.

Based upon the 1993 non-fiction publication Howard Hughes: The Secret Life by Charles Higham, the film portrays the life of Howard Hughes, an aeronautics leader and director of the movie Hell's Angels The film depicts his life from 1927 to 1947 during which time Hughes became a successful movie manufacturer and an aviation mogul while at the same time expanding a lot more unstable due to extreme obsessive-compulsive condition (OCD).

The brief but much advertised flight of Hughes' HK-1 Hercules on November 2, Bookmarks 1947, was reasonably recreated in the Port of Long Coastline The motion control Spruce Goose and Hughes Hangar miniatures constructed by New Offer Studios are on display at the Evergreen Aviation Gallery in McMinnville, Oregon, with the initial Hughes H-1 Spruce Goose.

Besides, Hughes is barely averse in jeopardy his life in various other means, ending up being a record-smashing flying ace and later on obtaining TWA off the ground a lot to the dismay of competing Juan Trippe (Alec Baldwin), the head of Frying pan Am. The Pilot with Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn and Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes.

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