The Current War is the true story of the race to give incandescent light to the people of America. After Thomas Edison patented the lightbulb, he gave a demonstration on how to light a 20-block radius using direct current. On the way home from securing funding from his benefactor JP Morgan in Washington, he spurned a dinner with George Westinghouse, a famous industrialist. That evening, Westinghouse came up with a plan to give electricity to cities around the country using the alternating current which unlike direct current can use power lines built above ground. Nikola Tesla also plays a part in the battle between Westinghouse and Edison as the pioneer of AC who worked for Edison to develop new ideas. The battle led to the formation of General Electric when Edison could no longer compete against the affordability and ingenuity of alternating current. The story is sort of interesting, but it does not really carry a feature film. The performances are okay, but the drama is not worthy of the talents. There is no flash of directorial skill just workmanship.
