Hawking - BBC TV movie by Philip Martin, 2004

Summary: This movie tells the debuts of Stephen Hawkins in physics, as he starts working in Cambridge University and discovers he is getting paralysed. We can see him struggle with his condition as well as with the Big Bang Theory, in a world which hasn't really thought of this possibility yet. 

Comment: I won't judge this movie from the point of view of someone who knows Mr. Hawking but as a mere movie watcher. It is a classic biopic, of quality, as expected from the BBC. The ending feels a bit rushed but Mr. Cumberbatch's performance is astonishing and the story very moving.
