But his prodigious career was sidetracked by problems with schizophrenia -- a mental disease that would have broken most people. Nash, however, fought back. Always driven by his quest for one truly original idea, he never lost sight of that dream. After many years of struggle, he triumphed over tragedy and realized his dream with an original idea that literally changed the world.Starring Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris. .
