Orson Welles & Nikola Tesla: The Creative Process

In memory of Orson Welles 1915 - 1985, and his contribution to the Arts.
In memory of Nikola Tesla 1856 - 1943, and his contribution to science.

This rare film stars Orson Welles and features a dramatic recreation of a meeting between Nikola Tesla, Industrialist J.P. Morgan and Thomas Edison, that would decide the fate and future of today's Electric Power Industry in America and the world.

Nikola Tesla is regarded as one of the most important inventors in history. He changed the world with the invention of the AC (alternating current) induction motor, making the universal transmission and distribution of electricity possible.

So why is he virtually unknown to the general public?

Nikola Tesla's contributions to science include the fields of Robotics, Ballistics, Computer Science, Nuclear Physics, and Theoretical Physics. In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him as being the inventor of the Radio.
