Publisher's Synopsis
Concentrating on one of the greatest figures of 20th century history and starring some of the greatest contemporary stars of Hollywood (Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe and John C. Reilly) Scorsese's The Aviator is an epic in the true sense of the word. This official companion screenplay tells the story of aviation pioneer Howard Hughes, the eccentric billionaire industrialist and film mogul, famous for romancing some of the most famous women of his time. Recounting his life from the early 1920s through to the 1940s this is a fantastic story.
