Synopsis:

Katharine Hepburn - in only her second film - delivers one of her very greatest performances in this classic tale of forbidden love and moral society. Hepburn (Little Women, The Lion In Winter) stars as Lady Cynthia Darrington, a pioneering female aviator. When she meets distinguished - and married - politician Sir Christopher Strong at a party, she is immediately drawn to him.
Unable to resist each other, they undertake an intense and emotional affair. But as their passions escalate, so too does the risk of discovery - and if polite society ever learns of their liaison then they could be very badly hurt...

At a party for Bright Young Things, a 'treasure hunt' for attractive yet virtuous people nets Sir Christopher Strong, M.P., and Lady Cynthia Darrington, dashing aviatrix. Their acquaintance is innocent at first; but after he sees her in a spectacular silver moth costume, virtue begins to wane. Against their wills, they are drawn into an affair whose consequences threaten Strong's happy marriage and both their careers.

Drama set in London in the early Thirties. During a party, Cynthia Darrington, an aviatrix, meets Chistopher Strong. Initially a friendship, their relationship turns soon into a secret love affair that brings dramatic consequences for both of them.
