Synopsis...
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-30s, 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.    hide

It's the little guy versus the big machine!! This was a movie that needed to be told. Corporations are always trying to take out the little guy by walking all over them. This was not a surprising true story; however, it was an eye opener for myself about the Ford Company. This movie does recognize inventors as important people and there is no reason for them to be known otherwise. Take a look around, in your daily routine, and think about who may have invented those things around you. Did the inventor receive the credit for it? Was the right inventor recognized for it? This movie takes you on a road of pure principle and the importance of standing-up for the little guy. Greg Kinnear does a great job as usual. Not the best bio-pic ever, but This is a must see.

With all these "Based on a true story" Movies that we come across, we take a break from the Action, Romance, and Drama that we would get from a regular movie. I wouldn't say that "Flash of Genius" was one of the best "True Story" Movies, but it does on excellent job of demonstrating the stress that a man overcame to stand up for what he new was right. Anyone who is trying to start a career should take a look into this movie. It is very inspirational, and has a very good plot.
