Here are my 3 recommended movies featuring mathematician protagonists.

A Beautiful Mind

A film depicting the life of a real-life American genius mathematician. A surprising twist at the end. Russell Crowe’s performance in the lead role is excellent.

Enigma

A 2001 film adaptation of Robert Harris’s novel “Enigma”. — Wikipedia

A story about decrypting the codes generated by the German Enigma cipher machine.

The Imitation Game

Another story about cryptanalysis dealing with the Enigma. I love the atmosphere of that era.

The Man Who Knew Infinity

A film depicting the interaction between Cambridge University mathematician G.H. Hardy and Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. You can feel the beauty of mathematics.

The Theory of Everything

A film depicting the life of Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Particle Fever
