Documentaire over het leven van de geniale natuurkundige Stephen Hawking. De film laat zijn leven zien door de ogen van hemzelf, zijn vrienden en zijn familie, vanaf zijn schoolperiode, zijn studie, zijn diagnose met een degeneratieve spierziekte en zijn revolutionaire theorieën over tijd, zwarte gaten en de oorsprong van het universum. Een visueel interessante en bij tijden humoristische kijk op een uitzonderlijk leven.
Nee, helaas is A Brief History of Time nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
