Brilliant and brooding, inventor Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke, The Magnificent 7) must fight an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electrical system to fruition. Increasingly displeased by the greed of fellow inventor Thomas Edison (Kyle MacLachlan, Twin Peaks), Tesla forges his own virtuous but arduous path toward creating the innovative alternate-current motor. As Tesla slowly becomes jailed in his overactive mind, his associate Anne Morgan (Eve Hewson, Bridge of Spies) analyses and presents his story as it unfolds, offering a distinctly modern voice in this scintillating biopic of one of the greatest minds of modern science.
