Trivia:
When Nash first sees Parcher, he refers to him as "Big Brother", a reference to George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four". Later, we see that the room number of Nash's office is 101, another reference to the book. When Nash gets accepted into Wheeler, it's 1948, coincidentally the year Nineteen Eighty-Four was written. (Although technically it was published in 1949) more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Nash arrives at MIT after having come from the pentagon he is wearing a topcoat though everyone complains about the air-conditioning is broken and it followed by a scene in which opening windows because of the heat facilitates the film's "meet cute". However this might not be a gratuitous error but a foreshadowing of Nash's mental disturbances. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Helinger: Mathematicians won the war. Mathematicians broke the Japanese codes... and built the A-bomb. Mathematicians... like you. The stated goal of the Soviets is global Communism. In medicine or economics, in technology or space, battle lines are being drawn...

why is not at IMDb Top 250?, 7 March 2007
9/10
Author: Gökhan Hepanil from Turkey

i think this is an excellent film.In addition awarded most important academy awards: best picture,best writing, best director and best actress. moreover i think Russell Crowe had deserved to award best actor.cause his role was really so hard but he acted incredible.

and i don't understand that why that movie is not at IMDb TOP 250 Movie List.Already if a movie had awarded Best Picture Oscar, it should be at that list automatically.But this is not a ordinary film. this is different and has a true story.

in my opinion that movie should be at least in first 20 films at IMDb TOP 250.Cause it deserves more than most of these.
