Science genius Stephen Hawking has been the subject of much fascination since his rise to academic prominence in the 1960s.
A physics student at Cambridge University, Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) was given only two years to live when motor neuron disease struck him in his early 20s.
Though he had abrilliant mind, nothing much was expected of him after his shock and debilitating diagnosis.
But 50 years later there seems to be no slowing down of this great mind and he continues to search for elusive answers of the universe.
The Theory of Everything is the story of Hawking and his amazing wife, Jane (Felicity Jones). Based on Jane's book, this is not a movie soley in tribute to Hawking's greatness, it gives a realistic look at the couple's life as his body broke down.
