Based on the true story of writer Clifford Irving, THE HOAX is an escapade of the desperate man who convinced the publishing world, and perhaps himself, that he was commissioned to write the official biography of Howard Hughes. What begins as a way out for a writer balancing precariously on his last dime turns into a scandal reaching all the way to the White House. Consumed by greed and yearning for success, Clifford’s story is one of a man who, for a short while, gained the world but in the process lost more than he bargained for.
