Following a celebrated military career that ended in shadowy deals in Afghanistan, the now disillusioned Gilcrest is tasked with negotiating a deal with the Hawaiian natives and supporting Carson 's launch of a privately - funded satellite. Gilcrest 's mission is complicated by his former girlfriend Tracy ( Rachel McAdams ), now married with two children, and his idealistic Air Force liaison, Captain Allison Ng ( Emma Stone ), whose wide - eyed fascination with space reminds him of his own childhood sense of wonder. Gilcrest and Ng travel to meet King Kanahele at his isolated community to negotiate a deal for his participation in the gate blessing ceremony. Along the way, Ng tries to engage Gilcrest in conversation about his life and work but is unable to break through his cynicism. When they meet the king, Ng, who is part Hawaiian, bonds with him and his companions, identifying with their spiritual view of the land and sky. After prolonged negotiations, Gilcrest brokers a deal for the king 's participation in exchange for two mountains and free cell phone service. The next night, Gilcrest and Ng have dinner at Tracy 's house, where they meet her husband Woody ( John Krasinski ) and their two children, Grace and Mitch. At one point, Gilcrest and Tracy find themselves alone in the kitchen, where she admits that she loved him and had plans to make a life with him before he abandoned her thirteen years ago. The next evening, they attend Carson 's Christmas party, where General Dixon ( Alec Baldwin ) tells Gilcrest not to screw up their deal with the Hawaiians. One of the general 's men hands Gilcrest a thumb drive containing top secret information for the upcoming satellite launch. During the party, Gilcrest becomes attracted to Ng, who is having fun dancing with Carson. Afterwards, Ng joins Gilcrest in his room while he recounts his experiences in Kabul, where he almost died. He tells her that this was the first night he was truly happy to be living, and the two have sex. The next day, Ng discovers that Carson 's satellite will actually carry a nuclear payload. When she tries to resign, her colonel tells her it is a private operation run by Carson and that Gilcrest is aware of the details. Later she confronts Gilcrest in tears for lying to her and the Hawaiians. Meanwhile, Woody and Tracy confront each other about recent tensions in their marriage, which he believes were caused by Gilcrest 's arrival. They agree to separate. The next morning, Tracy shows up at Gilcrest 's hotel and reveals that Grace is his daughter. Later that day, after the successful blessing of the new pedestrian gate, Gilcrest learns that the Chinese are attempting to hack the satellite 's code to prevent the impending launch. He rushes to the command center and undermines the hackers ' efforts. As he watches the satellite enter geosynchronous orbit, he realizes what he 's done and its impact on Ng, whom he has come to love. Quickly, he orders a massive sonic upload to be sent to space, and he and Ng hold hands as they watch the satellite explode. Believing Ng 's continued association with him will ruin her promising career, he tells her they should not see each other again. Carson is not pleased with the destruction of his satellite and confronts Gilcrest, who tells him he can not `` buy the sky ''. General Dixon is also incensed by Gilcrest 's actions, threatening to prosecute him. Gilcrest returns to Tracy 's house, where she reads him a moving love letter from Woody. Gilcrest tells her she belongs with her husband and she encourages him to go after Ng. Woody comes home and sees Gilcrest in his house. Woody tells Gilcrest he knows Gilcrest is Grace 's father. He asks Gilcrest if he slept with Tracy while he was gone. Gilcrest tells Woody he slept with Ng and not with his wife. Woody goes into the living room where Tracy is cleaning up. She sees Woody and they both run into each other 's arms, then are joined by Grace and Mitch. Gilcrest leaves the house while the happy family reunion continues. General Dixon soon learns that Gilcrest was telling the truth about the nuclear weapons payload and praises him for what he 's done, revealing that authorities will soon be taking Carson into custody. Outside the hotel, Gilcrest finds Ng, who is preparing to leave. He tells her he loves her, is staying in Hawaii and will be waiting for her to return. Later that night, Gilcrest stands outside Grace 's hula class and watches her dance. She notices him, he nods at her and she suddenly realizes he is her father. With tears of joy in her eyes, she runs outside and embraces him then returns to her class to continue her hula dancing.

Accolades Award Date of ceremony Recipients Result Teen Choice Awards August 16, 2015 Choice Movie : Comedy Aloha Nominated Choice Movie Actor : Comedy Bradley Cooper Choice Movie Actress : Comedy Emma Stone Whitewashing controversy The film became controversial due to the Media Action Network for Asian Americans accusing it of whitewashing the cast, and Crowe apologized about Emma Stone being miscast as a character who is meant to be of one quarter Chinese and one quarter Hawaiian descent. In June 2015, Crowe responded to the backlash : `` I have heard your words and your disappointment, and I offer you a heart - felt apology to all who felt this was an odd or misguided casting choice. As far back as 2007, Captain Allison Ng was written to be a super-proud one quarter Hawaiian who was frustrated that, by all outward appearances, she looked nothing like one. A half - Chinese father was meant to show the surprising mix of cultures often prevalent in Hawaii. Extremely proud of her unlikely heritage, she feels personally compelled to over-explain every chance she gets. The character was based on a real - life, red - headed local who did just that. '' However, Sony Pictures defended the film 's portrayal of Hawaiian culture stating, `` While some have been quick to judge a movie they have n't seen and a script they have n't read, the film ' Aloha ' respectfully showcases the spirit and culture of the Hawaiian people. '' Emma Stone later said she regretted letting herself be miscast, and acknowledged whitewashing as a prevalent problem in Hollywood. References Jump up ^ `` ALOHA ( 12A ) ''.
