Lady Cynthia Darrington (Katharine Hepburn), a fearless and independent aviatrix, finds herself drawn into a passionate affair with Sir Christopher Strong (Colin Clive), a married member of Parliament. As their relationship intensifies, both must navigate the complexities of societal expectations, personal ambitions, and the consequences of their choices.

Set against the backdrop of high-society London and the thrilling world of early aviation, the film explores themes of female independence, marital fidelity, and the price of following one’s heart. As Cynthia pushes the boundaries of both social norms and aviation records, she and Christopher are forced to confront the true nature of their love and the sacrifices it demands.

Christopher Strong showcased Katharine Hepburn’s immense talent and unique screen presence in only her second film role. Her portrayal of the fiercely independent Lady Cynthia helped establish Hepburn’s iconic image as a modern, unconventional woman – a persona that would define her legendary career for decades to come.

One of the film’s most memorable scenes features Hepburn in a stunning, form-fitting silver moth costume designed by Walter Plunkett. This daring outfit not only became an iconic image in cinema history but also symbolized Cynthia’s fragile yet determined spirit.

Directed by Dorothy Arzner, the only female director working in Hollywood during the 1930s, Christopher Strong stands as a testament to women’s contributions to early cinema. Arzner’s nuanced direction and Zoë Akins’ screenplay bring depth and complexity to the characters, challenging traditional gender roles and exploring female desire with remarkable frankness for its time.
