Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original draft of the screenplay was written in 2009, years before leaked NSA information detailing cyber-espionage was revealed--a topic discussed directly in the film.
- GoofsEarly in the film, the character Tim Horton asks a colleague about the characteristics of a desert. The colleague replies that they are 'hot'. This is not true, since Antarctica is a desert and is not thought of as being 'hot'. There are many ways to classify an area as a desert. Two of the main methods are that total precipitation is less than 10 inches, and the evaporation being greater than precipitation. 'Hot' is too subjective a term since many people will disagree on what qualifies as 'hot'.

No. 1 - Tim Horton: Don't blink. You might miss something.
Featured review
A movie for very Computer Science nerds.
The movie projects the aesthetics of a theorem and how it can simply change the world for better or worse. It deals with what would be the possibilities if a Millenium problem that is P Vs NP would be solved and ponders it further on what would happen if this solution is concentrated in the hands of only one entity. Would or wouldn't that entity use to play God? Would it be ethical to keep it from the world? Such questions have been arising since a long time in Scientific Research. Overall, this movie is a must watch for all Science nerds as some of the points discussed would make you indulge in giving it a thought yourself. Great plot!
