本片是关于20世纪伟大数学家小约翰•福布斯-纳什的人物传记片。 
　　小约翰•福布斯-纳什（拉塞尔•克劳）在念研究生时，便发表了著名的博弈理论，该理论虽只有短短26页，却在经济、军事等领域产生了深远的影响。但就在小约翰•福布斯-纳什蜚声国际时，他的出众直觉因为精神分裂症受到困扰，然而这并没阻止他向学术上的最高层进军的步伐，在深爱他的妻子艾丽西亚（珍妮弗•康纳利）的鼓励和帮助下，他走得虽然艰缓，却始终没有停步，而最终，凭借十几年的不懈努力和顽强意志，他如愿以偿。

5. -Alicia: How big is the universe? 
-Nash: Infinite. 
-Alicia: How do you know? 
-Nash: I know because all the data indicate it. 
-Alicia: But it hasn't been proven yet? 
-Nash: No. 
-Alicia: You haven't seen it. 
-Nash: No. 
-Alicia: How do you know for sure? 
-Nash: I don't, I just believe it. 
-Alicia: It's the same with love, I guess. Now, the part that you don't know is if I want to marry you.

想象看，如果你突然发现，你身边最重要的那些人、事以及让你珍惜的时刻，并没有消失，也没有死去，却是更糟的，他们都不是真的，你想那会是多么可怕？ 

8. I think often what I feel is obligation. Or guilt over wanting to leave. Rage against John, against God and…But then I look at him and I force myself to see the man that I married. And he becomes that man. He's transformed into someone that I love. And I'm transformed into someone who loves him. It's not all the time, but it's enough. 
我常在想，有时我觉得这是一种义务。有时为曾想离开他而感到内疚，甚至有时候会对约翰和上帝感到愤怒，但是，当注视着他，把他想象成我心目中的白马王子时，渐渐的他就变了，变成我所深爱的人，而我也变成深爱他的人。虽然不是时常发生，但也足够了。

不，他们仍在这里。说不定永远不会消失。但是我已经习惯不理会他们了，而他们也有点儿想放弃我。 

11. They're my past. Everybody's haunted by their past. 
他们是我的过去，其实每个人都被过去所缠绕。 

12. I've always believed in numbers, in the equations and logics that lead to reason. But after a lifetime of such pursuits, I ask, "What truly is logic? Who decides reason?" My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional -- and back. And I have made the most important discovery of my career, the most important discovery of my life: It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the reason I am. You are all my reasons. Thank you. 
我一直以来都坚信数字，不管是方程还是逻辑都引导我们去思考。但是在如此追求了一生后，我问自己：“逻辑到底是什么？谁决定原由？”我的探索让我从形而下到形而上，最后到了妄想症，就这样来回走了一趟。在事业上我有了重大突破，在生命中我也找到了最重要的人：只有在这种神秘的爱情方程中，才能找到逻辑或原由来。今晚我能站在这儿全是你的功劳，你是我成功的因素，也是唯一的因素。谢谢你！

你是我成功的因素，也是唯一的因素。 

14. Forgive me, I'm just always suspicious of new people.
