Sinopsis: Basada en la vida de la aviadora Amelia Earhart (Hilary Swank), legendaria piloto y un enigmático símbolo del espíritu libre americano, cuya existencia se rigió por una profunda curiosidad por todo lo que la vida le podía ofrecer. Los precoces triunfos obtenidos por Earhart en el ámbito de la aviación y su meteórico ascenso en fama y fortuna, recibieron el estímulo de su tempestuosa asociación y posterior matrimonio con el editor George Putnam (Richard Gere). Unidos por su mutua ambición, admiración y, finalmente, gran amor, el vínculo entre ellos no llegó a romperse ni siquiera con la breve pero apasionada aventura que Earhart mantuvo con Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). Earhart fue la primera mujer que cruzó el Atlántico en solitario y fue el primer piloto, ya sea masculino o femenino, en atravesar el Pacífico, también en solitario. En su intento por ser la primera persona en dar la vuelta al mundo por la ruta ecuatorial, la vida de Amelia se vio truncada trágicamente por su misteriosa y prematura desaparición en las aguas del Pacífico Sur en el año 1937.
