5. Flash of Genius (2008)
Based on a true story, this movie portrays the story of Robert Kearns (Greg Kinnear), who invented the intermittent windshield wiper. When the major car manufacturers steal his idea, Kearns begins a David-and-Goliath legal battle to reclaim his intellectual property. The movie goes deep into the emotional and psychological price of standing up for one's principles. Kearns' confidence in his invention is a testament to the unsung heroes of science, whose work hardly finds recognition. Flash of Genius tends to remind viewers of innovation and its protection; it also helps to reveal the hearts of scientists behind their ideas.
