Watch Richard Gere in The Hoax

The film follows the story of Clifford Irving, the man who claimed to published an autobiography of the eccentric Howard Hughes, although the entire story was a scam.  Irving was sent to prison for purgery in 1972 for two and a half years.

Directed by Swedish filmmaker Lasse Hallstrom (The Cider House Rules, My Life as a Dog), The Hoax opens in theatres in mid-April.
