本片是关于20世纪伟大数学家小约翰•福布斯-纳什的人物传记片。 　　小约翰•福布斯-纳什（拉塞尔•克劳）在念研究生时，便发表了著名的博弈理论，该理论虽只有短短26页，却在经济、军事等领域产生了深远的影响。但就在小约翰•福布斯-纳什蜚声国际时，他的出众直觉因为精神分裂症受到困扰，然而这并没阻止他向学术上的最高层进军的步伐，在深爱他的妻子艾丽西亚（珍妮弗•康纳利）的鼓励和帮助下，他走得虽然艰缓，却始终没有停步，而最终，凭借十几年的不懈努力和顽强意志，他如愿以偿。From the heights of notoriety to the depths of depravity, John Forbes Nash, Jr. experienced it all. A mathematical genius, he made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery. After many years of struggle, he eventually triumphed over his tragedy, and finally - late in life - received the Nobel Prize.
