It’s the age of discovery in the 1950’s and researchers are scrambling to be the first to unlock the mysteries of DNA.

Amongst these scientists is Rosalind Franklin, an underappreciated yet stubborn genius working in this male dominated field at King’s College.

Will she or Cambridge University competitors Watson and Crick get there first? And who will get the credit?

Based on a true story, Photograph 51 is a searing character study of an unsung hero of DNA investigation set amidst one of history's most fascinating scientific races.
