Some of the documentaries are the first person with Stacy Keach as the voice of Nikola Tesla. Elisabeth Noone is the narrator.

We learn how his life is intermixed with Mark Twain, William K. Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, Westinghouse, Thomas Edison, and Guglielmo Marconi.

The actual technical side is held down as it is a Nikola Tesla biography, not a technical how-to. On that note, you can tell that this documentary is a tad dated as they have a fascination with the strategic defense initiative.

In any event, it is good to know more about Tesla and his part in history.
