Anyone watching it cannot question how Eddie Redmayne won the Best Actor Oscar for his outstanding performance in this brilliant biopic. 

The extraordinary life of world-renown physicist Stephen Hawking (Redmayne), from being a student at Cambridge through struggles with motor neurone disease, and his relationship with his wife (Felicity Jones).

Based on the autobiography of his wife Jane Hawking, it was carefully adapted by Anthony McCarten and delicately directed by James Marsh (Project Nim, Man On Wire). The end result is a touching tale, told with love and humour, about one of the greatest men and minds of our time.
