TESLA (2020) Movie Trailer: Ethan Hawke is Inventor & Electrical Engineer Virtuoso Nikola Tesla

Tesla Trailer

Michael Almereyda‘s Tesla (2020) movie trailer has been released by IFC Films and stars Ethan Hawke, Eve Hewson, Kyle MacLachlan, Jim Gaffigan, and Hannah Gross.

Plot Synopsis

Tesla‘s plot synopsis: “Brilliant, visionary Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke) fights an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electrical system to fruition, then faces thornier challenges with his new system for worldwide wireless energy. The film tracks Tesla’s uneasy interactions with his fellow inventor Thomas Edison (Kyle MacLachlan) and his patron George Westinghouse (Jim Gaffigan). Another thread traces Tesla’s sidewinding courtship of financial titan J.P. Morgan (Donnie Keshawarz), whose daughter Anne (Eve Hewson) takes a more than casual interest in the inventor. Anne analyzes and presents the story as it unfolds, offering a distinctly modern voice to this scientific period drama which, like its subject, defies convention.”

More on the film:

Anne Morgan, the philanthropic daughter of famed financier J. P. Morgan…somewhat…serves as the film’s narrator who, from time to time, breaks the fourth wall to explain the mystique of Tesla’s life and his enduring legacy.

Cast

Tesla also stars Josh Hamilton, Lucy Walters, James Urbaniak, Ian Lithgow, and Donnie Keshawarz.
