Filmmaker Christopher Sykes looks into the life and mind of theoretical physicist and adventurer extraordinaire Richard Feynman in this intimate, moving, and quite funny account of the most extraordinary scientist of his age. With a unique combination of dazzling intellect and touching simplicity, Feynman had a passion for physics that was merely the Nobel Prize-winning part of an immense love of life and everything it could offer. He was hugely irreverent and always completely honest with himself, with his colleagues, and with nature. Sykes used this film (and several other documentaries he made on Feynman) as the basis for his best-selling book of the same name.
