The Aviator (Single Disc)

Billionaire and aviation tycoon Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a successful public figure: a director of big-budget Hollywood films such as “Hell's Angels,” a passionate lover of Hollywood leading ladies Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett) and Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale), and an aviation pioneer who helps build TWA into a major airline. But in private, Hughes remains tormented, suffering from paralyzing phobias and depression. The higher he rises, the farther has to fall.

• Best Picture Golden Globe Winner 2004.
• Best Picture BAFTA Winner 2005.

Critic Reviews:

• " The Aviator does make for a rather fascinating and compelling stand-alone story about an industrious, fastidious, obsessive man… " – Namrata Joshi

• " Good but not great, and not for younger kids. " – Nell Minow

• " This almost-great epic has one foot in legend: it's a vision of an American titan that could have sprung from the insides of Hughes's own obsessive, perfectionist head. " – David Ansen
