The Current War is a biological drama based on true events. Back in the 1880s onwards. Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse are competing to see who can become successful with their invention. DC and AC electricity. They were prepared to play dirty. Nikola Tesla had been screwed over and that is well known. I was not familiar with Westinghouse. Edison is well known. Martin Scorcese is the Executive Producer. Nice cinematography, costume, props, effects. I like the dialogue, acting and soundtrack. It is a good movie. Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon, Tom Holland, Nicholas Hoult are amongst the cast. I will be looking at trivia and the back story of some of the people mentioned. Edison has many inventions to his name. The inventors wanted to power an entire city using electricity. Edison does most travelling by train. He has his secretary by his side. J P Morgan the banker is involved with financing the ideas. You might also like:
