PI

The film is about a mathematical prodigy, Maximillian Cohen, who believes that everything in nature can be understood through numbers. Utilizing the stock market as his data set, Max tries to uncover patterns with the assistance of his homemade supercomputer Euclid. Max is plagued with migraine headaches that cause him to periodically black out. He also suffers from extreme paranoia and some form of social anxiety disorder. As the movie progresses, he begins to believe that he has found the key to understanding the universe, but as he closes in on the answer, it turns out that his paranoia is justified (or depending on your interpretation, that his paranoid delusions have manifested themselves in visual and auditory hallucinations). A number of mysterious people become interested in his research, including a woman from a Wall Street firm with access to powerful new computer hardware, and a group of kabbalistic Jews (from a Hasidic sect) who believe that the Torah, when represented as numbers instead of letters, contains the true name of God, an example of a Bible code. Eventually Max escapes his torment by destroying his research and then drilling into his own head. The film ends with him losing his mathematical abillities, and now when he looks at the sky, he sees it only for what it is.
