Synopsis:
Based on the worldwide best-­‐selling novel by Simon Winchester, THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN is an extraordinary true tale of madness, genius, and obsession about two remarkable men who created history with the writing of the Oxford English Dictionary.

The compilation of the Oxford English Dictionary began in 1857 and was one of the most ambitious, and revolutionary projects ever undertaken. Professor James Murray (Mel Gibson) took on the challenge of creating the most comprehensive dictionary ever compiled, but knew that it would take him and his team over a century to compile all known definitions. However, by “crowd sourcing” the work, that is, by enlisting definitions from people all over the world, the dictionary could be compiled in mere decades.

As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led by Professor Murray, discovered that one man, Dr. W.C. Minor (Sean Penn), had submitted more than ten thousand words. When the committee insisted on honoring him, a shocking truth came to light: Dr. Minor, an American Civil War veteran, was a convicted murderer and being held at an asylum for the criminally insane.

史上最詳盡周全的《牛津英語詞典》是怎樣編成的?一切得由本沒有學位的詹士莫雷教授(米路吉遜 飾)及被關在精神病院的威廉邁納醫生(辛潘 飾)說起。1857年,莫雷教授開始編撰《牛津英語詞典》,他估計要完成詞典編撰工作,可能要花超過一百年時間。於是他想到向世界各地的人募集字詞定義,希望讓詞典能在數十年內完成編撰。當來自世界各地的字詞齊集,莫雷教授發現其中一萬條字詞,竟全由威廉邁納一人提交。當莫雷教授及詞典編撰委員會打算嘉許威廉邁納時,卻發現不為人知的驚人秘密……
