Synopsis
Flash of Genius (2008) — watch online on iFILM this true-story drama directed by Marc Abraham. Greg Kinnear plays Robert Kearns, the Detroit professor who invented the intermittent windshield wiper and then watched Ford roll it out on millions of cars without a contract, a payment, or so much as an acknowledgment.
Kearns filed a lawsuit on his own — no big law firm, just a man with engineering notes and a refusal to back down. The case consumed more than two decades of his life. His marriage to Phyllis, played by Lauren Graham, bent under the weight of it. His six kids grew up watching their father choose the fight over the family's stability. Alan Alda appears as the attorney who eventually joins the cause.
The film asks a precise question: at what point does being right stop being worth it? A quiet, methodical drama built on one man's stubborn insistence that the idea was his. Stream Flash of Genius online on iFILM.
