Flash of Genius
Corporations have time, money, and power on their side. All Bob Kearns had was the truth.
Directed by Marc Abraham
Produced by Strike Entertainment, Universal Pictures
A earnest underdog drama about an inventor's principled fight against corporate indifference, grounded in family loyalty and the pursuit of justice.
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.
