Plot
Warning: spoilers
Partly adapted from Stephen Hawking's popular book on his theories of the universe, this in-depth documentary also presents his daily life as he copes with ALS, which renders him virtually immobile and unable to speak without a computer. Interviews with friends, family, former classmates, and peers explore not only his scientific ideas but also the man behind them.
