Visionary inventor Nikola Tesla fights an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electrical systems to fruition. After his relationship with Thomas Edison sours, Tesla goes solo, securing investment and patents with the help of J.P. Morgan’s daughter Anne, who has taken a liking to the inventor.

Deliciosamente lúdico, este retrato posmoderno explora una vida excéntrica de invención al rechazar el biopic convencional. Con caprichos estilísticos que van de la narración omnisciente a un número synthpop anacrónico, la meditación de Michael Almereyda sobre el legado es pura electricidad.
