Discover the story of John von Neumann, the brilliant mind behind the foundations of modern computing, game theory, and nuclear strategy. From memorizing phone books as a child to developing the architecture that powers nearly every computer on Earth, von Neumann’s genius shaped the digital age.

This documentary explores:

His groundbreaking 1945 paper: First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC — the blueprint for today’s stored-program computers.

His visionary views on the connection between the brain and machines, taken from rare insights in The Computer and the Brain.

His contributions to the Manhattan Project, the Cold War, and the controversial logic of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

How his ideas laid the groundwork for AI, neural networks, and the way we use data and algorithms today.

Whether you’re curious about the origins of artificial intelligence or the architecture that drives your smartphone, this film reveals how one man invented the future before anyone else could imagine it.
