The script begins as a young Hughes directs one of Scorsese's favorite
films, Hell's Angels. Hughes was so obsessed with perfection in the
aerial sequences that he waits forever for perfect conditions, right
down to cloud formations. The Aviator ends in 1946, when Hughes was
still a dashing young man and romancing actresses like Ava Gardner and
Katharine Hepburn.
