This shows physicist Stephen Hawking's life as he deals with the ALS that renders him immobile and unable to speak without the use of a computer. Hawking's friends, family, classmates, and peers are interviewed not only about his theories but the man himself.
Editor's Verdict
"A Brief History of Time is a biographical documentary focused entirely on the scientific contributions and personal struggles of Stephen Hawking. There is no indication that the narrative is set during the Christmas season, nor do Christmas themes, iconography, or plot elements play any role in the story whatsoever."
