The Endless (2015)

Six biographical films about top scientists

Synopsis:

Ramanujan (Dev Patel) was born in a very poor family in India, and from a very young age, he showed an unusual talent for mathematics, but because of his poor family, his family could not provide Ramanujan with a good educational environment.

In 1904, Ramanujan entered the University of Gombergonam on his own, but did not graduate because of serious subjects, and in the following days, Ramanujan began to teach himself mathematics.

In 1912, Ramanujan's paper "Some Properties of Bernuni Numbers" was published, which caused some splashes in the mathematical community and brought Ramanujan some fame.

Later, with the help of a friend, Ramanujan wrote a cover letter to the famous mathematician Hardy (Jeremy Irons), who attached great importance to this promising young man and recommended him to Cambridge University for further study.

The Theory of Everything (2014)

Six biographical films about top scientists

Synopsis:

Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) and Jane (Felicity Jones) met at a dance, and the two met and talked happily for the first time. After that, Hawking boldly invited Jane to the dance, and the two took this as an opportunity to fall in love.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

Six biographical films about top scientists

Synopsis:

This film is a biopic about the great mathematician of the 20th century, John Forbes-Nash Jr.

When John Forbes-Nash Jr. was a graduate student, he published his famous game theory, which, although only 26 pages, had a profound impact on the economy, military and other fields.

But when John Forbes-Nash Jr. became internationally famous, his instincts were plagued by schizophrenia, but this did not stop him from marching to the highest levels of academia, and with the encouragement and help of his beloved wife Alicia (Jennifer Connery), he walked slowly, but never stopped, and in the end, with more than a decade of unremitting efforts and tenacious will, he got his wish.

The Imitation Game (2014)

Six biographical films about top scientists

Synopsis:

During World War II, the Allies suffered from the inability to decipher the German secret system "Ingmar", and the government summoned a group of folk mathematicians and logicians to carry out secret cracking work, and Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) was one of them.

At the beginning of the project, Turing was ostracized by the team members and leaders led by Hugh (Matthew Goode), but fortunately the head of military intelligence, Menzies (Mark Strong), helped him build a code-breaking machine, and Turing became the person in charge, recruiting a new member Joan (Keira Knightley) to start the difficult work.

Joan soon became obsessed with Turing, thanks to her help with unprecedented unity among all the crew members, and managed to crack the German code two years later. Turing was once engaged to Joan, but in fact he hid a secret, because of which he also suffered inhuman treatment ...

Qian Xuesen (2012)

Six biographical films about top scientists

Synopsis:

In the forties of the last century, Qian Xuesen (played by Chen Kun), a tenured professor at the California Institute of Technology, was hit hard because of the anti-communist rhetoric that rose in the United States. His research on cutting-edge technology was halted and ordered to leave the country. Qian Xuesen's heart is close to the motherland and his heart is like an arrow, and the United States, which realizes Qian Xuesen's great value, has set up many obstacles to his return, and even arrested Qian Xuesen on the charge of espionage. In the end, Qian Xuesen, who was acquitted, was placed under house arrest for a long time.

Qian Xuesen wrote a letter to contact the motherland, and Zhou Enlai ordered to exchange 11 American war criminal pilots for Qian Xuesen.

Faced with the gaps in New China's technology, talents, industry, and other aspects, Qian Xuesen led scientific researchers to start with imitation, gradually study and improve according to existing technologies and conditions, and lay the foundation for China's missiles.

In November 1960, the first missile was successfully tested.

In October 1964, the first atomic bomb test was successful, and Qian Xuesen undertook the task of developing rockets to carry atomic bombs for long-range attacks, and he led scientific researchers to overcome difficulties such as weather and geography, complete the docking of the two bombs, and successfully test launch New China's first nuclear missile at the Lop Nur shooting range in October 1966!

In his later years, Qian Xuesen was full of guilt for his wife (played by Zhang Yuqi), but his wife's understanding comforted him.

Deng Jiaxian (2009)

Six biographical films about top scientists

Synopsis:

In 1958, Dr. Deng Jiaxian, who returned from studying in the United States, accepted the task of secretly developing an atomic bomb, and since then has been incognito and has been responsible for the theoretical design of China's atomic bomb. As a theoretical physicist, Deng Jiaxian led the theoretical design department of the Nuclear Weapons Research Institute, and after arduous struggle without any theoretical reference and technical materials, successfully achieved a breakthrough of "zero", provided theoretical design for the birth of China's first atomic bomb, and made significant contributions.

On October 16, 1964, China successfully exploded its first atomic bomb in the western region, announcing to the world China's military scientific and technological strength, changing the world's political and military power balance, and enhancing China's international status and prestige.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Jiaxian organized and led the theoretical design of China's first hydrogen bomb. On June 17, 1967, China shocked the world by successfully detonating its first hydrogen bomb. Subsequently, Deng Jiaxian made a significant contribution to the development of neutron bombs and the miniaturization of nuclear weapons...
