Movie Story
Based on the true story of college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns' (Greg Kinnear) 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 (Lauren Graham) 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.
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.
Reader's Reviews
"Flash of Genius" is a brilliant idea of a movie to make. It stars Greg Kinnear and Lauren Graham as it's about a man named Bob Kearns who tells the tale of one man who tries to fight back what was his idea of the winshield wipers. With great acting brings this true story in one piece as it's a film which should bring a lot of money to the box office as it also has Alan Alda, Bill Smitrovich, Tim Kelleher, Daniel Roebuck, Jake Abel, and Chuck Shamata! It's directed by Marc Abraham!

posted by Toby on Feb 04, 2009One of the best movies of the year. Greg Kinnear and Lauren Graham make the story of big business corruption from the little mans perspective a compelling movie. For once the little man wins. Great lesson in ethics for young and old alike.
