"A novel based on the life of Nikola Tesla, Lighting is a tale about the invention of just about every electronic device we use today and the psychic cost of genius."

Movie Rating
1960s Cold War submarine based thriller, based on the novel by Scottish author Alistair MacLean, with this movie - I have heard - being so beloved of Howard Hughes that it aired on a Las Vega station he owned over 100 times during his lifetime.

The plot? Basically, a satellite containing stolen equipment has crashed in the arctic. The race is on to retrieve said equipment.

But who can be trusted?

Movie Rating
Mid-90s TV Sean Bean starring TV movie, loosely based on the Bernard Cornwell novel of the same name.

I say loosely based, but as not as loosely as the previous (Sharpe's Gold): here, the rough outline is pretty much the same as in the novel - sure, there are liberties taken and subplots left out and/or changed, but this *is* recognizably the same story, complete with Brigadier Guy Loup, the spanish Real Compania Irelande (sp?) et al

"Maybe the greatest novel ever written, but I haven’t read them all! It’s all of humankind head-on by Dostoevsky. A mix of sadism and humor. In Poland I shot a movie by Andrzej Wajda based on this great book."
