DESCRIPTION:
     Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was one of the most fascinating scientists of
the 20th century. He invented, developed or imagined the technology that
brought us electricity, remote control, neon and fluorescent lighting,
radio transmission and much more [...] all the basic inventions that now
connect the world with power and information.
     He was a brilliant and charismatic immigrant whose talent took him to
the height of celebrity. He locked horns with Thomas Edison, J. Pierpont
Morgan, Guglielmo Marconi, and George Westinghouse. Mark Twain praised his
genius. They are all characters in this program, the very first to tell the
full story of Tesla.
     Like many geniuses, Tesla was not a conventional man. He gave his life
to realize his visions, while others made millions with his inventions.
Tragically, he died penniless and nearly forgotten.
     TESLA, Master of Lightning gives long overdue recognition to a great
and misunderstood man of science. Many new and unknown details of Tesla's
life have been uncovered for this dramatic and entertaining program. Much
of the story is told in Tesla's own words, drawn from his autobiographical
and scientific writings.
      The life of Nikola Tesla is an inspiring example of the power of one
man to change the world with technology and revolutionary ideas.
