The story takes place in 19th century America, during the rapid advancement of the Second Industrial Revolution. The two most well-known electricity entrepreneurs at the time were Thomas Edison (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) and George Westinghouse (played by Michael Shannon), who viewed each other as fierce rivals, evenly matched and fiercely opposed. Edison, the inventor of direct current, was proud, arrogant, and ambitious, with many enemies. One day, a man named Nikola Tesla (played by Nicholas Hoult) invented alternating current, different from Edison’s, prompting Westinghouse to quickly extend an olive branch to Tesla, inviting him to work for him. The emergence of alternating current once again changed people's understanding of electricity and greatly accelerated the progress of the revolution.
