previously directed How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Brilliant but psychologically-damaged mathematician John Nash (Russell Crowe) accepts secret cryptology work and ends up descending into his own personal nightmare.

Trivia:

According to a 2001 Entertainment Weekly article on this film, the filmmakers originally wanted to mention John Nash's homosexuality, but they feared the film would make the wrong connection between homosexuality and schizophrenia, so they abandoned it. This connection, according to the article, was based on several now-discredited psychological studies that first appeared in the late 1950s.
