Slovenski opis filma:
Spektakularna zgodovinska drama z vrhunsko igralsko zasedbo, postavljena v čas razvoja sistemov za prenos električne energije, opisuje bitko za prevlado med dvema titanoma, ki je za vedno spremenila tok zgodovine. Ogrodje filma je neusmiljeno tekmovanje vsestranskega izumitelja Edisona in poslovneža Georgea Westinghousa okoli tega, čigav električni sistem bo z elektriko oskrboval sodobni svet. Zgodba spremlja Thomasa Edisona, ki vztraja pri svojem enosmernem toku in ga poskuša vsem pomanjkljivostim navkljub vpeljati na Manhattan. Toda načrt gre po zlu, saj se pojavi genialni emigrant iz Evrope, Srb Nikola Tesla, s svojim izmeničnim tokom, ki ga finančno podpira Westinghouse. Boj med njima je surov, še posebej Edison je pripravljen prestopiti vse meje poštene igre za dosego svojega cilja.

Originalni opis filma:
Three brilliant visionaries set off in a charged battle for the future in The Current War, the epic story of the cutthroat competition that literally lit up the modern world. Benedict Cumberbatch is Thomas Edison, the celebrity inventor on the verge of bringing electricity to Manhattan with his radical new DC technology. On the eve of triumph, his plans are upended by charismatic businessman George Westinghouse (Michael Shannon), who believes he and his partner, the upstart genius Nikola Tesla (Nicholas Hoult), have a superior idea for how to rapidly electrify America: with AC current. As Edison and Westinghouse grapple for who will power the nation, they spark one of the first and greatest corporate feuds in American history, establishing for future Titans of Industry the need to break all the rules. Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) with Producer Timur Bekmambetov, Basil Iwanyk and Executive Producer Martin Scorsese, The Current War also stars Katherine Waterston, Tom Holland, Matthew Macfadyen and Tuppence Middleton.
