Synopsis

Golden Globe winner Richard Gere stars in the true story of Clifford Irving, a writer who has the biggest scoop of the 20th century – or does he?

After years spent struggling to find that one big story, Irving brazenly decides to make one up. He has been approached by the one man the entire world most wants to know about – aviator, movie mogul, ladies man and eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes – to ink his priceless biography.

There’s just one little problem: not a word of what Clifford is saying has an ounce of truth to it. He’s never so much as seen a glimpse of the real Howard Hughes; a man who has not been seen in public for over a decade. Recruiting his anxiety-prone but loyal best friend Dick Suskind (Alfred Molina) and artist wife (Academy Award® winner Marcia Gay Harden) into the scheme, Clifford soon finds himself in a wild maze of treachery as he is forced to dodge the fallout of his falsehoods at every turn. While publishers scramble to make Irving’s audacious manuscript and dreams of fame a reality, what started as an adventurous lark soon turns into a seemingly inescapable maze of forgeries, thefts, tall tales and deception.

THE HOAX is directed by Lasse Hallström and based on Clifford Irving’s own memoir of the same name.
