This fanscinating biopic details the life and extraordinary career of American pilot Amelia Earhart (Hilary Swank). The free-spirited Earhart's early aviation triumphs and meteoric rise to fame were accompanied by her tempestuous partnership and eventual marriage to publisher George Putnam (Richard Gere) - a bond that remained unbroken even after Earhart's passionate affair with Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor).
