Back-of-the-envelope math:
50 characters x 8 bits = 400 bits of entropy
Even if you account for not having backspaces and linfeeds in the password, he could still easily have 256 bits of entropy.
Even with Moore's law, a strong algo like AES-256 is generally considered to be uncrackable, assuming the algorithm and the implementation don't have any flaws.
