Summary:

Dramatic biography of John Nash, a mathematical genius, who made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim.

After many years of struggle, he eventually triumphed over his schizophrenia, and finally, late in life, received the Nobel Prize.
