Synopsis: This British made-for-television movie tells the story of the 1950s competition to unlock the mystery behind DNA, and the personal and political tribulations that accompanied the endeavor. Jeff Goldblum stars as American scientist Jim Watson, and Tim Pigott-Smith is Britain's Francis Crick.

The film was based on the book of the same name by James Watson. ~ Bernadette ... Full Synopsis
