Tesla

Nikola Tesla arrives in the United States as a brilliant but distant inventor who wants to change how people receive power. He fights Thomas Edison, powerful investors, and his own weak business sense while he works on alternating current and wireless energy. The story moves through New York, Colorado, and other American places in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The movie uses dark rooms, strange jokes, modern laptops, Google searches, and a karaoke song to create a dreamlike and playful tone.

The clearest audience-visible identity detail is Anne Morgan's large role as the narrator and main guide to Tesla's private life. She is a woman from a wealthy family who admires Tesla, challenges his choices, and speaks from a modern point of view. The movie also suggests that Anne later finds love with another woman, but that detail is brief and does not drive the plot. The film includes direct talk about capitalism, commerce, and idealism as Tesla's inventions meet the demands of investors, yet the main story remains a sad, unusual portrait of a lonely inventor.
