SYNOPSIS __________

Plot:
The Hoax, directed by Academy Award nominee Lasse Hallstrom (Cider House Rules, Chocolat, Casanova), is inspired by true events in the life of Clifford Irving, played by Richard Gere (Chicago), a charismatic and charming writer who persuades the world that he is the authorized biographer for the reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes.

When his book is published amidst a swirl of controversy Irving must scramble to prove his claims. Through a series of devilish twists and turns, Irving is led to suspect a vast conspiracy is plotting against him-- possibly involving even the highest level of the U.S. government.

Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden (Pollock, Mystic River) Hope Davis (Matador, Proof) and Alfred Molina (Chocolat, Boogie Nights) co-star in this incredible story of international intrigue, powerful corporate empires and beautiful women that is just too good to be true.
