Corporations have time, money, and power on their side. All Bob Kearns had was the truth.

Based on the true story of college professor and part time inventor Robert Kearns' (Greg Kinniear) long battle with the U.S. automobile industry, Flash of Genius tells the tale of one man whose fight to receive recognition for his ingenuity would come at a heavy price. But this determined engineer refused to be silenced, and he took on the corporate titans in a battle that nobody thought he could win. Ignored, threatened and then buried in years of litigation, Bob is haunted by what was done to his family and their future. He becomes a man obsessed with justice and the conviction that his life's work or for that matter, anyone's work be acknowledged by those who stood to benefit. And while paying the toll for refusing to compromise his dignity, this everyday David will try the unthinkable: to bring Goliath to his knees. Featuring an all star cast including Greg Kinnear, Dermot Mulroney, Lauren Graham and Alan Alda, Flash of Genius will have you believing that anything is possible with the right amount of determination and self belief.
