The film documents the history and subsequent decline of the Wardenclyffe complex designed and built by Tesla in Shoreham, New York, as the main laboratory and facility for his experiments on wireless power transmission.
After over a century of decay, the tower site was rescued by a successful fundraising campaign and will be converted into a museum – the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe – honoring the legacy of the Serbian American inventor.
