The Kearns' were a typical 1960s Detroit family. Bob is a college professor and part-time inventor. 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 originally embraced Bob's creation, unceremoniously shuns him. 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 anyone else's for that matter, should be acknowledged by those who stood to benefit. He and his family pay the toll for refusing to compromise his dignity. 521 8 MPAA rating: PG-13; for brief strong language. 538 DVD, widescreen (2.40:1); Dolby Digital 5.1 surround. 546 English or dubbed Spanish dialogue, French or Spanish subtitles; English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. 600 10 Kearns, Robert W.|vDrama. 650 0 Inventors|zMichigan|zDetroit|vDrama|vVideodiscs. 650 0 Windshield wipers|zUnited States|vDrama|vVideodiscs. 650 0 Automobile industry and trade|zUnited States|vDrama |vVideodiscs. 650 0 Procedure (Law)|vDrama|vVideodiscs. 650 0 DVDs. 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 655 7 Video recordings for the hearing impaired.|2lcgft 700 1 Barber, Gary. 700 1 Birnbaum, Roger. 700 1 Lieber, Michael. 700 1 Railsback, Philip. 700 1 Abraham, Marc. 700 1 Kinnear, Greg,|d1963- 700 1 Graham, Lauren. 700 1 Alda, Alan,|d1936- 700 1 Mulroney, Dermot. 700 1 Smitrovich, Bill. 700 1 Seabrook, John.|tFlash of genius. 710 2 Intermittent Productions (Firm) 710 2 Spyglass Entertainment (Firm) 710 2 Strike Entertainment (Firm) 710 2 Universal Pictures (Firm) 710 2 Universal Studios Home Entertainment (Firm)
