What is the title of the 2014 biographical film about Stephen Hawking?

The title of the 2014 biographical film about Stephen Hawking is The Theory of Everything. Directed by James Marsh, the film follows Hawking’s life from his years as a Cambridge student through his diagnosis with motor neurone disease and his emergence as a world-famous physicist.

The screenplay by Anthony McCarten was adapted from Jane Hawking’s memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen. Eddie Redmayne played Hawking, while Felicity Jones portrayed Jane. The story focuses heavily on their relationship, family life and the physical challenges Hawking faced alongside his scientific work.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 7 September 2014. Redmayne won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance, and the film also received nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress, adapted screenplay and original score. A common mix-up is confusing it with A Brief History of Time, a 1992 documentary about Hawking rather than the 2014 dramatic biopic.
