to your wish list?
Storyline:
Based on the true story of college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns' 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. The Kearns were a typical 1960s Detroit family, trying to live their version of the American Dream. Local university professor Bob married teacher Phyllis and, by their mid-thirties, had six kids who brought them a hectic but satisfying Midwestern existence. When Bob invents a device that would eventually be used by every car in the world, the Kearns think they have struck gold. But their aspirations are dashed after the auto giants who embraced Bob's creation unceremoniously shunned the man who invented it...

Interesting film although it is character study rather than a 'car' story... I am from Detroit and found it good, the personality of the engineer, his Catholic background (although if you do not understand the 'church' you may not understand the connection), and of course the powers that be in the automobile industry who have always felt they were in charge and could do anything... while they continued to sell automobiles with splash and thunder even if they didn't make it to the end of the payment book. One funny item, the lead kept his 1965 Ford throughout the film... one of the few that kept going...

I thought this movie was very good. It told the story of an inventor who's idea was stolen by the Ford Motor Company and the lengths/sacrifices he is willing to go through to bring justice against them.
Great acting, great screenplay, go see it!

Excellent movie and acting. I will never buy another Ford ever! What they did to this guy and family was unforgiveable especially for them being such a huge company! The best part is ethics and integrity that it teaches us all! Great values!

The movie was great. It showed how holding out gains character.

Good movie. Shows how sticking to your beliefs can pay with the outcome you want on one hand, while costing you greatly on the other. Nice to see the little guy be able to do it on his own.
