Greg_Kinnear stars in director Marc_Abraham's man-against-the-system docudrama Flash of Genius as inventor Robert Kearns, the visionary who developed the modern intermittent windshield wiper. Kearns submitted the invention to each of the big three auto companies, each of which promptly rejected it; the companies then turned around and put the device to use. The enraged inventor spent several decades attempting to collect on his patent, and mounting lawsuits that traveled all the way to the Supreme Court; he eventually collected over 30 million dollars for his obsession. Abraham co-authored the script with Scott_Frank and Phillip_Railsback, adapting an article by John Seabrook that originally appeared in The New Yorker. Dermot_Mulroney plays Kinnear's best friend, with Lauren_Graham rounding out the supporting cast. Nathan Southern, Rovi
