Amelia – Movie Trailer

Check out the movie trailer for the biopic Amelia, about the pioneering aviator who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. The film stars two-time Academy Award®-winner Hilary Swank, Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston and Virginia Madsen. 'Amelia' will arrive in theaters October 23rd, 2009.

Synopsis: Amelia Earhart's early aviation triumphs and meteoric rise to fame and fortune were propelled along by her tempestuous partnership and eventual marriage to publisher George Putnam (Richard Gere). Bound by mutual ambition, admiration and, ultimately a great love, their bond could not be broken even with her brief passionate affair with Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor).

Ms. Earhart was the first woman to solo the Atlantic and was the first pilot, man or woman, to fly unaccompanied across the Pacific. In Amelia's attempt to be the first to fly around the world in an equatorial flight her life was tragically cut short with her mysterious and untimely disappearance over the South Pacific in 1937. 'Amelia' is directed by Mira Nair ("The Namesake") from a screenplay by Oscar-winner Ronald Bass ("Rain Man").
