Not a bad flick. From what I know myself of the fight it was pretty accurate. Except for some artistic license. Like them throwing the switch to execute the first person in the first electric chair at the same time they turned on the Worlds Fair in 1893.<br clear="none">

I liked the portrayal of Westinghouse.<br clear="none">

Oh there was a Westinghouse commercial before the movie! I pointed out that irony to Wife.<br clear="none">

Not being a history of Tesla per say there were noisy pigeons on Tesla’s rooms ledge while Westinghouse was making a visit.<br clear="none">
