A Brief History of Time
1991 · 80 min
Directed by Errol Morris. Written by Stephen Hawking. Starring Stephen Hawking, Isobel Hawking, Janet Humphrey, Mary Hawking.
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.
