In this documentary, writer/director Peter Garrity explores the unique findings of sibling scientists Igor and George Gamow, two geniuses who, despite being related by blood, each possessed distinctly brilliant insight into the world they inhabited. In the 1960s, Igor and George were both professors at the University of Colorado in Boulder. While George focused on developing the "Big Bang Theory" of the universe, his brother Igor invented a device called the "Gamow Bag" that helped to revolutionize the art of high altitude mountain climbing. Additional insight into the brothers' early-life fascination with such pastimes as ballet and motorcycles highlights how both maintained a playful outlook on life well into adulthood, and a conversation with George's riding companion Edward Teller (the father of the H-bomb) reveals fascinating details about their professional collaboration with Niels Bohr on the famed tome Thirty Years that Shook Physics.
