Summary: Based on the true story of Robert Kearns, a college professor and part-time inventor who invented a device that would eventually be used by every car in the world--and which was stolen by an auto giant. Kearns attempts the impossible: to get justice against an adversary with impossibly deep pockets. Can anyone win against such a resolved, amoral corporate foe? Kearns means to find out.
