Actress Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) transforms completely into pilot, celebrity and feminist Amelia Earhart. Director Mira Nair’s (The Namesake, Monsoon Wedding) sweeping and beautiful biographical film follows this pioneer’s momentous final decade as she becomes the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, propelled to instant prominence and a life of product endorsements by her promoter and eventual husband George Putnam (Richard Gere), through her clandestine affair with TWA founder Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor) and into her ill-fated, round-the-world flight with her talented but alcoholic navigator Fred Noonan (Christopher Eccleston). Her extraordinary life of adventure, fame and mystery come to light in this thrilling account of the aviation pioneer.
