Flash of Genius (2009)

An amazing and uplifting against-the-odds tale, "Flash of Genius" is based on the true story of a college professor who invented a seemingly obscure device, but one that would eventually be used by every car in the world, the intermittent windscreen wiper. Believing he has struck gold, Bob Kearns' aspirations are dashed when the U.S. auto giants who embraced his creation, deny him credit for his invention.
