This program recounts the life of scientist, inventor, and visionary Nikola Tesla, often remembered as more of an eccentric cult figure than an electrical engineering genius. Many of his achievements are still attributed to contemporaries Thomas Edison and Guglielmo Marconi. Tesla's surprising inventions are revealed in his autobiographical and scientific writings, supplemented by rare photographs and re-creations.
Tesla: Master of Lightning (2000) is a documentary and history film directed by Robert Uth, released on December 1, 2000 with a runtime of 1h 27m. It stars Stacy Keach, Elisabeth Noone and Nikola Tesla. Viewers rate it 7.6 out of 10 across 27 ratings.
Directed by Robert Uth, written by Phylis Geller and Robert Uth.
Average viewer score of 7.6/10 from 27 ratings.
Great documentary about a true genius, whose theories & inventions weren't profit motivated but for the betterment of mankind. Hugely ripped off by Marconi and Edison (he who denied that alternating current was the future or would even work) and also had US government backing. Many Tesla inventions are taken for granted today and wrongfully attributed to Ed. or Mar. That is shameful.
