"An enthralling story of imagination. It's almost inconceivable to hear about people that thought electricity was a scary and unsustainable idea, but this shows how hard it was to pass ideas for an underground system that is beyond the thoughts of the time - an underground system of soot and coughing passengers.
More than a story about how it happened it's more about the ideas that made it happen. We follow the story of someone who wanted to push a radical idea of transport and eventually made it a reality, one we now see as a normality but at the time was pure idealism, and its fantastical to see, a scientific imagination that could not be realised until people finally put imagination to the science, a real human explosion of ideas.
A worthy watch of anyone fascinated with the history of how what is banal to us became reality"
