This BBC made-for-TV movie is about the British scientist Robert Watson Watt, a meteorologist who, after failing to produce a workable prototype of a death ray prior to World War II, went on to invent and lead the R & D development of radar technology, and the equipment and monitoring stations that were so valuable to the RAF during the Battle of Britain. Quite informative and entertaining. Recommended.
