The Current War (Subtitled)
Drama In 1880, Thomas Edison lights up a section of New York with his electrical system. Principal investor JP Morgan looks forward to reaping the rewards of Edison's excellence. However, Edison's reliance on direct current makes it both expensive and labour-intensive to convey current over long distances. Businessman George Westinghouse senses an opportunity. He believes that an alternating current system could be cheaper and more efficient.
