GENIUS ON HOLD

100 min | PG
A true David and Goliath tale, GENIUS ON HOLD recounts the epic story of Walter L. Shaw, an engineering genius who, almost half a century ago, invented the technology that transformed the rudimentary telephone system of the early 1900s into the foundation of today’s cutting–edge global telecommunications industry. Narrated by Oscar nominee Frank Langella, the film reveals the power and greed of a telecommunications monopoly that pushed this prolific toward the only organization that would reward him for his talent (and infamous “black box” invention) — the mob.
