Based on the controversial true story, Clifford Irving (Richard Gere) was a failed writer in the 1970s who couldn't sell a book to save his life. That is, until he claimed reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes dictated his life to him, which was, of course, a flat-out lie. As The Autobiography of Howard Hughes got published and became an instant hit, Irving had to continue to spin an increasingly convoluted web of lies to prove his book was authentic.
It's a shame The Hoax was not released nationally last Spring, because the public missed a great film. Gere's performance may be the best of his career. Alfred Molina, who plays Irving's assistant also does a great job. Gere and Molina both deserve an Oscar nomination. Jamie says "9".
