A Brief History of Time (1991)

Film · 80m · December 27, 1991

Documentary

Where did the universe come from? Will time ever come to an end? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Partly adapted from cosmologist Stephen Hawking's popular book about his theories of the universe, this in-depth documentary also presents Hawking's daily life as he deals with the ALS that renders him virtually immobile and unable to speak without the use of a computer. Hawking's friends, family, former classmates and peers are interviewed about not only his theories but the man himself.
