Tesla

Director: Michael Almereyda

Language: German

Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke), a Serb who emigrated to the USA, is a promising young engineer at Thomas Edison’s Electric Light Company. But soon a rift emerges between the two very different men. The brilliant but socially awkward immigrant Tesla turns to industrial magnate George Westinghouse, who from then on finances Tesla’s work on his groundbreaking electrical system. At the same time, the ingenious inventor is already impatiently working on an ambitious new project financed by banker J.P. Morgan. There Tesla meets Morgan’s daughter Anne and faces the choice of devoting himself to his work or to love.
