Aviator
Bohaterem projektu jest Howard Hughes, amerykański miliarder, pilot i konstruktor lotniczy, który w 1935 r. ustanowił światowy rekord prędkości - 567 km/h, a w 1938 r. wykonał etapowy lot dookoła świata. Fabuła filmu opowiada o latach młodości Howarda Hughesa. Zaczyna się, gdy bohater reżyseruje jeden z ulubionych obrazów Martina Scorsese "Aniołowie piekieł", a kończy w 1946 roku, gdy Howard romansuje z najznamienitszymi aktorkami Hollywood.
