Deep in a salt mine, a prisoner of war creates a world-changing device. During World War II, a young Austrian engineer named Curt Herzstark was in the midst of perfecting his invention – the Curta calculator – when he was taken into custody by the Nazis. Somehow – some way – he never gave up. And the protoype of what became the hand held calculator was born. "Intelligence-Slave" by Kenneth Lin stars Garret Dillahunt, Joe Spano, Josh Stamberg, Nick Toren, and Daniel Stewart. Directed by Matt August.
