A Brief History of Time (1991)

Where did the universe come from? Will time ever come to an end? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

• Documentary

Partly adapted from cosmologist Stephen Hawking's popular book about his theories of the universe, this in-depth documentary also presents Hawking's daily life as he deals with the ALS that renders him virtually immobile and unable to speak without the use of a computer. Hawking's friends, family, former classmates and peers are interviewed about not only his theories but the man himself.
