Hawking

Hawking (2004) is a movie that tells the story of renowned physicist Stephen Hawking's early years, how he first met his wife Jane Wilde at a party, how he was diagnosed with motor neuron disease and how he defied all odds by not only surviving but also producing a PhD of real brilliance that helped to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. The film takes us through Hawking's mental and physical struggles and his determination to make a difference in science despite being given only a few years to live. With the support of Jane, he embarks on a groundbreaking research that leads him to propose the big bang theory, which today is widely accepted as the scientific consensus for the origin of the universe. The film also follows a parallel storyline of two American scientists who discovered the physical proof of the big bang, further supporting Hawking's theoretical work.
