Corporations have time, money, and power on their side. All Bob Kearns had was the truth.

Drama

In this David vs. Goliath drama based on a true story, college professor Robert Kearns goes up against the giants of the auto industry when they fail to give him credit for inventing intermittent windshield wipers. Kearns doggedly pursues recognition for his invention, as well as the much-deserved financial rewards for the sake of his wife and six kids.

VIBE

This is a deeply satisfying underdog story about a lone inventor fighting against corporate giants. It feels like a testament to human ingenuity and the power of sheer grit, even when the system is stacked against you. Inspiring and a little frustrating, but ultimately rewarding.
