What is Aloha about?
Brian Gilcrest, a celebrated military contractor, returns to Honolulu for work. There he reconnects with Tracy Woodside, a former love, and unexpectedly falls for Allison Ng, an Air Force watchdog assigned to keep an eye on him. The story combines the romantic triangle with Brian’s work on a military project. Sony Pictures’ official synopsis foregrounds those romantic entanglements.

How is Hawaiʻi part of the film?

Why did the casting draw criticism?
Emma Stone’s casting as Allison Ng drew criticism because reporting described the character as having Hawaiian and Asian heritage. CBS News reported that Crowe responded to questions about diversity and culture and acknowledged possible missteps. The Guardian later reported that Stone characterized the casting as misguided. These accounts document responses from the director and actor; they do not settle the broader debate about representation in Hollywood.
When was Aloha released, and how was it received?
Box Office Mojo lists May 29, 2015, as the U.S. release date and reports a production budget of $37 million; that budget is a database figure, not an independently audited studio cost.
