This biographical drama depicts the gripping true story of Robert Kearns and his long legal battle against the automotive industry. Directed by Marc Abraham and produced by Gary Barber alongside Roger Birnbaum and Amy Sayres, the film stars Greg Kinnear as the determined inventor who designs the intermittent windshield wiper.

Dermot Mulroney and Alan Alda deliver key supporting performances that highlight the immense personal and legal challenges faced by an individual taking on a corporate titan. Based on the New Yorker article by John Seabrook, this inspiring story focuses on the heart and determination required to seek justice against incredible odds.
