Flash of Genius
2008, English. Directed by Marc Abraham.
Corporations have time, money, and power on their side. All Bob Kearns had was the truth.
In this David vs. Goliath drama based on a true story, college professor Robert Kearns goes up against the giants of the auto industry when they fail to give him credit for inventing intermittent windshield wipers. Kearns doggedly pursues recognition for his invention, as well as the much-deserved financial rewards for the sake of his wife and six kids.
