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.
A relentless, singular obsession drives this portrait of an inventor fighting a losing battle against corporate giants. You will feel every ounce of his fraying nerves as he trades his sanity for the recognition he earned.
