Quite possibly one of Leonardo Di Caprio's strongest performances proving once again that no shoes are too big to fill as he takes on the role of Howard Hughes, one of the great pioneers in modern aviation. Based on actual events, this bio-pic captures the essence of an unrelenting and at times eccentric business tycoon for whom the sky literally had no limit. Cate Blanchett also notably appears opposite to Di Caprio as silver screen icon, Katharine Hepburn, who, among several other Hollywood starlets at that time, was Mr. Hughes' on-and-off again love-interest and female companion. Of course, it almost goes without saying that the high-flying scenes throughout the film especially in high definition are spectacular while set and costume designs recreate and bring to life Hollywood's heyday in vibrant, uncompromising fashion. Two thumbs up - way up!

An excellent movie that historically portrays this true story. DiCaprio does a wonderful job of of portraying his character- all around 5 stars!
