The Aviator," directed by Martin Scorsese and written by John Logan, tells the story of aviation pioneer Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio), the eccentric billionaire industrialist and Hollywood film mogul, famous for romancing some of the world's most beautiful women. The drama recounts the years of his life from the late 1920s through the 1940s, an epoch when Hughes was directing and producing Hollywood movies and test flying innovative aircrafts he designed and created. The film also has one of the most realistic crashes in recent years. It truly captures the trecherous fear of ditching.

DiCaprio gives his best performance of his career in the film. The oscars will come down to him, Depp (Finding Neverland), and Jamie Foxx (Ray). The movie is one of the best movies of the year.
