520 Hedy Kiesler is lucky. Her beauty leads to a starring role
in a controversial film and marriage to a powerful
Austrian arms dealer, allowing her to evade Nazi
persecution despite her Jewish heritage. But Hedy is also
intelligent. At lavish Vienna dinner parties, she
overhears the Third Reich's plans. One night in 1937,
desperate to escape her controlling husband and the rise
of the Nazis, she disguises herself and flees her
husband's castle. She lands in Hollywood, where she
becomes Hedy Lamarr, screen star. But Hedy is keeping a
secret even more shocking than her Jewish heritage: she is
a scientist. She has an idea that might help the country
and that might ease her guilt for escaping alone -- if
anyone will listen to her. Based on the incredible true
story of the glamour icon and scientist whose
groundbreaking invention revolutionized modern
communication
