Academy Award-winning biopic about a gifted mathematician and his struggle to maintain his crippling mental health. Directed by Ron Howard (Apollo 13), stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris.
John Nash (Crowe) stood out at Princeton not just for his mathematical brilliance but also his asocial behaviour. Even amongst the greatest minds at the university, his genius was unparalleled, creating completely original theorem and solving the most perplexing of problems. However, as his battle with schizophrenia worsens, so does his grip on reality.

Variety
Variety"Superb, Oscar-calibre performances in a fascinating tale of feverish '50s paranoia, Cold War intrigue and some very, very complicated algebra."

Total Film
Total Film"Should be intellectually rejected, but you can't quite banish it from your mind."

The New York Times
The New York Times"Sadly, Howard blands out in the final third, using old-age makeup and tear-jerking to turn a tough true story into something easily digestible. Until then, you'll be riveted."

Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone"Crowe brings the character to life by sidestepping sensationalism and building with small behavioral details."
—
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"When the film does succeed, it almost seems to do so despite itself."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Certainly gripping. Whether you can fully enjoy its many strengths depends on how comfortable you are with a real, tortured and ultimately tragic life being forced into Hollywood's formulaic straitjacket."
