Based upon the 1993 non-fiction publication Howard Hughes: The Secret Life by Charles Higham, the film illustrates the life of Howard Hughes, an aviation leader and supervisor of the film Heck's Angels The movie depicts his life from 1927 to 1947 during which time Hughes ended up being an effective film producer and an aeronautics mogul while simultaneously expanding a lot more unpredictable because of extreme obsessive-compulsive problem (OCD).
Actually, as far as this reviewer is concerned the most stirring, most memorable moment in Martin Scorsese and John Logan's The Pilot isn't the (undoubtedly outstanding) aerial fight at the start of the movie, or the plane crash in the future, or any of the interpersonal goings-on.
It is a historical legendary that focused on a vital period in the life of Howard Hughes among the most well-known and probably important guys of the twentieth century. Even if it's not a total success, nor one of his ideal motion pictures, I still discover it to be much more enjoyable than most of scrap Hollywood craps out on an once a week basis.
Clocking in at 169 mins, The Pilot attempts to stay aloft, but like Howard Hughes' much-too-big and much-too-heavy Spruce Goose (a.k.a. The Hercules), this cinematic jumbo can maintain itself in the air just a few minutes each time.
