Limitless is both a thriller and a sci-fi movie, directed by Neil Berger, and released on March 8, 2011. The movie is based on the novel, The Dark Fields, by Alan Glynn, and was adapted for screenplay by Leslie Dixon.
The movie revolves around the life of the seemingly boring and unimpressive Eddie Morra, who’s life begins to change drastically when he begins to take a new nootropic drug, known as NZT-48. Eddie not only gains superhuman abilities through this, but also finds himself in a world of trouble. Getting involved with the loan shark, Gennady, is Eddie’s main problem throughout the film, as he tries to battle the side effects of the drugs.
The movie consists of a large cast of well-known actors. Bradley Cooper plays the role of Eddie, Robert De Niro as Van Loon and Abbie Cornish as Lindy. The film grossed $161.8 million at the box office, against a budget of $27 million. Moreover, it received generally positive reviews and has gone on to spew a Limitless TV Series, with Bradley Cooper reprising his role as Eddie.
