The synopsis
of A Beautiful Mind story
John Nash is a
new graduate student in Princeton University. He is a recipient of the
prestigious Carnegie Prize for mathematics. He was promised a single room, his
roommate named Charles, that becomes his best friend. Nash also meets a group
of other promising math and science graduate students, Martin Hansen, Sol, and
Bender.
But one day,
Nash makes a thesis but his lecture unaccept it. He becomes frustrated. But Charles
tries to help him so he asks him to go to bar with him. At the bar he meets a woman but because of his
attitude the woman angry to him.
Nash tries to
correct his thesis and begin to get some idea to develop it. Because he is under
increasing pressure so he goes to the bar again to find new inspiration. A
particularly harsh rejection from a woman at the bar is what ultimately
inspires his fruitful work in the concept of governing dynamics, a theory in
mathematical economics.
After the
conclusion of Nash studies as a student at Princeton, he accepts a prestigious
appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), along with his
friends Sol and Bender.
Five years later
after he graduated from Princeton University he becomes lecture at MIT, he
places a particularly interesting problem on the chalkboard that he dares his
students to solve. When his student Alicia Larde comes to his office to discuss
the problem, at that time Nash get falling in love to his student and
eventually they get married.
On a return
visit to Princeton, Nash meets his roommate Charles and meets Charles young
niece named Marcee, whom he adores. He also meets a mysterious Department of
Defense agent, William Parcher. Nash is invited to a secret United States
Department of Defense facility in the Pentagon for being code breaker in that
Department. Nash is able to decipher the code in his right hand.
Parcher
observes Nashs activity from above, while Parcher also observes Nash behind a
screen. Parcher gives Nash a new duty to look for patterns in magazines and
newspapers, for break a Soviet plot. He must write a report of his findings and
place them in a specified mailbox. After being chased by the Russians and an
exchange of gunfire, Nash becomes increasingly paranoid and begins doesn’t
consistent with his duty being a lecture.
Alicia informs a
psychiatric hospital because unusual behavior of his husband. Later, while
teaching at Harvard University, Nash realizes that he is being watched by a
hostile group of people. Nash tries to go out but suddenly he was catched and
he is forcibly sedated and sent to a psychiatric facility. He thinks a group of
people who sent him to a psychiatric facility as Soviet kidnappers.
Alicia,
desperate to help her husband, and the psychiatric facility ask her to go to
Nash’s old place in Princeton to check the mailbox and retrieves the
never-opened "top secret" documents that Nash had delivered there
when he was in Princeton. When confronted with this evidence, Nash is finally
convinced that he has been hallucinating. The Department of Defense agent
William Parcher and Nash's secret assignment to decode Soviet messages was in
fact all a delusion. Even more surprisingly, Nash's friend Charles and his
niece Marcee are also only products of Nash's mind.
After a painful
series of insulin shock therapy sessions, Nash can go home but with an
agreement, he must agrees to take antipsychotic medication. However, the
medition create negative side-effects that affect his relationship with his
wife and, most dramatically, his intellectual capacity. Nash getting frustrated,
Nash secretly stops eating his medication and hoards his pills, but it’ll make
him hallucinating again.
Alicia thinks
that his husband getting better now, so she asks Nash to bathing his son while
she’s hanging laundry in the backyard. When Alicia is hanging laundry in the
backyard and observes that the back gate is open. She discovers that Nash has
turned an abandoned shed in a nearby grove of trees into an office for his work
for Parcher. Upon realizing what has happened, Alicia runs into the house to
confront Nash and barely saves their child from drowning in the bathtub. When
she confronts him, Nash claims that his friend Charles was watching their son.
Alicia runs to the phone to call the psychiatric hospital for emergency
assistance. Parcher urges Nash to kill his wife, but Nash angrily refuses to do
such a thing. After arguing with Parcher, Nash accidentally knocks Alicia to
the ground. Afterwards, Alicia flees the house in fear with their child, but
Nash steps in front of her car to prevent her from leaving. After a moment,
Nash realizes that Marcee is a figment of his hallucinations because she has
remained the same age since the day he met her. He tells Alicia, "She
never gets old." Only then does he accept that all three people are, in fact,
part of his hallucinations, and he tells to both of them that he wouldn’t speak
to them anymore.
Nash grows older
and approaches his old friend and intellectual rival Martin Hansen, now head of
the Princeton mathematics department, who grants him permission to work out of
the library and audit classes, though the university will not provide him with
his own office. Though Nash still suffers from hallucinations and mentions
taking newer medications, he is ultimately able to live with and largely ignore
his psychotic episodes. He asks his student humorously to ensure that any new
acquaintances are in fact real people, not hallucinations.
Nash eventually
earns the privilege of teaching again. He is honored by his fellow professors
for his achievement in mathematics, and goes on to win the Nobel Memorial Prize
in Economics for his revolutionary work on game theory. Nash and Alicia are
about to leave the auditorium in Stockholm,
when John sees Charles, Marcee and Parcher standing and smiling. Alicia asks
John, "What's wrong?" John replies, "Nothing." With that,
they both leave the auditorium.
