The trailer for "Flash of Genius" has been released, telling the true story of a college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns' (Greg Kinnear) long battle with the US automobile industry.
The movie revolves around Robert (Kinnear), who 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 Robert's creation unceremoniously shunned the man who invented it. Ignored, threatened and then buried in years of litigation, Robert 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.
"Flash of Genius" is helmed by Marc Abraham, who is making his directorial debut. It is scheduled to hit theaters on October 17th.
