Hoax, The

A tense, captivating, multilayered, factually based film about the broke, arrogant, and wildly audacious writer Clifford Irving (Richard Gere) who collaborates with his wife (Marcia Gay Harden) and longtime friend and researcher Richard Suskin (Alfred Molina) to convince skeptical, mouthwatering McGraw Hill editors (Stanley Tucci, Hope Davis, et al.) and publisher (John Carter) that highly eccentric and reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes has authorized him to pen his autobiography in the 1970s for an outlandish and unprecedented advance payment.
