TESLA
Movies On Demand, 3:00 a.m. ET
MOVIE PREMIERE: In this new Movie On Demand offering, premiering today for a price as a streaming film, Ethan Hawke portrays inventor Nikola Tesla, who worked with, without, and against Thomas Edison in pursuing his vision of electrical power and the concept of electric illumination. Kyle MacLachlan plays Edison, and this fact-based film may answer one chicken-and-egg-type question: When Edison and Tesla had their initial “Eureka!” thoughts about electricity, did imaginary light bulbs go off over their heads? Some of you, like me, will be fascinated by this electrifying story. Others, less fascinated with technology and history, and especially the history of technology, may react very differently, and ask, “So watt?”
