reserves.
Left to wander the campus of Princeton University as a “ghost” and a “crazy man,”
Nash did the unthinkable – he began recovering from a disease that there was thought to be no
recovery from. He even begin to work on mathematics research again. It was a recovery that
physiatrists thought was impossible. Nash struggles for years to keep his equilibrium despite
his illness. Finally, he returns to Princeton where Hansen (Josh Lucas), his old rival from years
ago, first allows him to use the library and eventually gives him a teaching position. In 1994,
the mathematics genius is awarded a Nobel Prize for his game theory.
