Ethan Hawke stars as iconic inventor Nikola Tesla, fighting an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electric system to fruition. Increasingly displeased by the actions of fellow inventor Thomas Edison, Tesla forges his own path toward creating the innovative alternate-current motor that will change the world. In this original and unconventional biopic, director Michael Almeredya weaves a portrait of a rebel ahead of his time, challenged by the power of invention, industry, greed, love and lightning.
