Synopsis

An extraordinary life of adventure, celebrity and continuing mystery comes to light in AMELIA, a vast, thrilling account of legendary aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart.

After becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, Amelia was thrust into a new role as America's sweetheart - the legendary "goddess of light," known for her bold, larger-than-life charisma. Yet, even with her global fame solidified, her belief in flirting with danger and standing up as her own, outspoken woman never changed. She was an inspiration to people everywhere, from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to the men closest to her heart: her husband, promoter and publishing magnate George P. Putnam, and her long time friend and lover, pilot Gene Vidal. In the summer of 1937, Amelia set off on her most daunting mission yet: a solo flight around the world that she and George both anxiously foresaw as destined, whatever the outcome, to become one of the most talked-about journeys in history.

    This film chronicles Amelia Earhart’s fascination with flight, her marriage to publisher and publicist George Putnam (Richard Gere), her two record-breaking transatlantic flights, her rise to national status as heroine of the Depression ("the Lady Lindy"), feminist icon and crusader for commercial air transport and her affair with President Roosevelt's aeronautical administrator, Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor), father of the better-known Gore. All sounds rather interesting doesn’t it? It isn’t.
