“When a young and gifted inventor by the name of Nikola Tesla (Petar Bozovic) arrives in America, he first works for the famous Thomas Edison (Dennis Patrick) but later strikes a fruitful cooperation with George Westinghouse (Strother Martin). Together they battle against Edison in order for Tesla’s superior system of alternative current to be accepted by the world community who currently uses only Edison’s system of direct current. Later on the mighty financier J.P.
