Based
on the true story of college professor and part-time
inventor Robert Kearns' (Greg Kinnear) long battle
with the U.S. automobile industry, Flash of Genius

for his ingenuity would come at a heavy price. But
this determined engineer refused to be silenced, and
he took on the corporate titans in a battle that nobody
thought he could win.
The Kearns were a typical 1960s Detroit family,
trying to live their version of the American Dream.
Local university professor Bob married teacher Phyllis
(Lauren Graham) and, by their mid-thirties, had
six kids who brought them a hectic but satisfying
Midwestern existence. When Bob invents a device
that would eventually be used by every car in the
world, the Kearns think they have struck gold. But
their aspirations are dashed after the auto giants
who embraced Bob's creation unceremoniously shunned
the man who invented it.
Ignored, threatened and then buried in years of
litigation, Bob is haunted by what was done to his
family and their future. He becomes a man obsessed
with justice and the conviction that his life's
work--or for that matter, anyone's work--be acknowledged
by those who stood to benefit. And while paying
the toll for refusing to compromise his dignity,
this everyday David will try the unthinkable: to
bring Goliath to his knees.

lived in color-based privilege, Davis would join
