HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — From award-winning director Mira Nair and starring Academy Award-winner Hilary Swank in the title role, comes the true story of the woman who won the hearts of the nation with her daring dreams of flight.
Celebrated as the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Earhart led a bold and uncompromising life as a woman ahead of her time, an adventurer who refused to see limits, and a symbol of American spirit. Amelia chronicles her skyrocketing rise to fame; the recordshattering flights that forged her image as “Lady Lindy”; a love life complicated by her devotion to flight and freedom; and a legacy of courage, social advocacy, and independence.
“Amelia is a love story and an action-adventure for the whole family, about a young woman who broke the boundaries and gave a lot to many different people,” says Nair. “I wanted the film to be a living, pulsating portrait of this woman who dared to dream of things that no one had ever done before. Amelia lived life as fully as possible and didn’t put a lid on her emotions or her ambitions. She left behind a legend that I hope will continue to fuel a passion in people to accept no limits.”
