Amelia ()

Plot
1930s aviatrix Amelia Earhart (Swank) captivates the world during the Great Depression, with husband George (Gere) exploiting her celebrity to fund her flying feats before she embarks on the perilous round-the-world flight that will make her legend.

Verdict
Swank’s moving performance, the period dressing and beautiful planes all appeal, but dramatically it doesn’t really soar.
