“The Theory of Everything” (rated PG-13) is based on the memoir “Traveling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen” by Jane Wilde Hawking. Starring Eddie Redmayne ("Les Misérables") as Stephen Hawking and Felicity Jones ("The Amazing Spider-Man 2") as Jane Wilde, this is the extraordinary story of one of the world's greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist. Hawking falls deeply in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane.

At age 21, the once active and healthy Hawking begins having physical issues and receives an earth-shattering diagnosis. With Jane fighting tirelessly by his side, Stephen embarks on his most ambitious scientific work, studying the very thing he now has precious little of — time.
