Additional InformationHilary Swank and Richard Gere star in director Mira Nair's biopic tracing the life of famed aviator Amelia Earhart -- who made history in 1932 by becoming the first woman ever to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. The trip made the aviatrix a national celebrity -- with help from her publicist George Putnam (Gere), whom she fell in love with and eventually married. Their union was tested, however, as Earhart developed feelings for contemporary Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor ), and the couple's marriage faced the ultimate tragedy years later, as Earhart's fierce independent spirit spurred her to attempt to fly around the world -- a venture that infamously shrouded her in mystery, as the pilot simply vanished after crashing into the Pacific Ocean. Christopher Eccleston and Joe Anderson co-star in the Avalon Pictures production.
ReviewsChicago Sun-Times - A perfectly sound biopic, well directed and acted, about an admirable woman., The Hollywood Reporter - Most of all, Earhart wanted to be able to fly free as a bird above the clouds, and director Nair and star Swank make her quest not only understandable but truly impressive.

  • Entertaining but not convincing

    Hilary Swank performs pretty well but, like Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor, is far prettier than the actual person portrayed. There is no real focus on the various aircraft and the film is a sanitised version of long distance flight in the 1920s and 30s, no discomfort, little sense of risk. Could have been a much better film with stronger direction, inclusion of some deleted scenes and the grubbiness of flying and the money making manipulation, which is touched on too lightly. I found many of the flying scenes artificial, hence 3 stars are generous.
