A film which takes a closer look at the story behind the creation of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and the personal lives of the men behind it.
This human story chronicles two men who, during the First World War, refused to accept narrow nationalistic boundaries and, against the odds, continued to strive for a greater truth. Between them, they changed the world and proved one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century.

It is bizarre that the BBC made this and even more bizarre that they tried to sensationalise what were fairly unimportant events. Einstein and Eddington were essentially boring and dour people. They corresponded during war-time when England v Germany was playing, but this was not the terrible crime for scientists portrayed in this film.
The acting and production are good, but as with most BBC productions of late the screen play is rubbish. The portrayal of Einstein as a robust man (he was more of a weedy swot) is way off mark and the treatment of Eddington's homosexuality is laughable.
