Made by Coronet, this profile of Sir Isaac Newton dates to 1959, the early part of the Space Age. As a result the film directly connects Newton's major theories with rocketry. At 1:20 a satellite is shown orbiting the Earth. At 1:32 the school where Newton went as a boy is shown, and a childhood fight is re-enacted. At 2:08, Newton is shown at Cambridge, reading books about science. The rest of the film shows re-enactments of Newton's time at Trinity College. At 4:14, Newton returns home to Woolesthorpe due to the outbreak of bubonic plague in England. At 4:38, Newton begins working on a series of mathematical problems. At 5:10, in 1665, Newton works on what becomes known as the Binomial Theorum of Algebra. At 6:00, Newton works on what becomes differential calculus and integral calculus. At 7:29 Newton conducts an experiment that determines that white light contains various color components. At 8:20, Newton is shown at work on a telescope. In 1666, the fall of an apple (8:40) causes Newton to ponder the force of gravity and whether it is universal. At 9:25 Newton wakes in his sleep to ponder gravity. At 9:44 Newton looks at the Moon while coming up with his Theory of Gravitation. At 10:55, Newton returns to Trinity College and is shown working on his new telescope. At 11:40 Edmund Halley visits Newton to discuss elliptical planetary orbits. At 12:36 Newton's book Principia Mathematica is shown.
