Based upon the early career of tycoon Howard Hughes (1905-1976), whose career spanned across everything from oil (which he cared little for), film, casinos, and aviation, as he turned millions of dollars into billions. The son of the Texan inventor of an amazing drill bit who died when he was 18, leaving him with 75% of the "Hughes Tool Co.", Howard Hughes quickly moved to Los Angeles to become a Hollywood film producer, where he helped launch the career of Jean Harlow and other starlets, and producing such classics as Hell's Angels, The Front Page, Flying Leathernecks, and Scarface (the 1932 original), eventually owning RKO Pictures. Hughes' legend came not from focusing on just Hollywood, however, as he simultaneously branched into industry after industry, including aviation in 1932, and during WWII, defense, leading to the creation of the (infamous) Spruce Goose, a flying boat of immense size. After WWII, Hughes' expansions continued, with an electronics company that was integral to the evolution of the satellite, and Hughes' several Las Vegas casinos (though this film may be ending before he moves there). This film will also focus on Hughes' wild and fairly grubby sex life romances with Hollywood starlets like Ava Gardner and Katherine Hepburn.
If you really want to know the truth about Hughes - read James Ellroy. The only true genius currently writing American popular literature.
