From the winner of the Oscar for the Best Screenplay for The Imitation Game in 2015 comes a superb historical legal thriller based on the famous 'War of the Currents' fought between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. In New York, in the late 1880s, the miracle of electric light is still in its infancy and untold riches and glory await the man who can power the nation with this new technology.

'If Paul could not break the patent claim, Thomas Edison would have a monopoly on light itself...'Soon to be a major film starring Eddie Redmayne,
