Galileo

Galileo, a teacher and theorist, was presented with a challenge by a new student, and he responded by co-opting emerging telescope technology and discovering conclusive proof of the heretical theory that the earth is not the center of the universe. But in a conservative society that is dominated by an uneasy alliance of aristocracy and clergy that has already been damaged by the Black Death and the Protestant Reformation, science is a danger and enlightenment is a luxury. Galileo is forced to make a choice between his own life and the restless scientific curiosity that drove him to forsake his family, friends, and wealth in order to pursue it. He faces either death at the hands of the Inquisition or recantation to a hypocritical but all-powerful Papacy. Either way, he will lose his freedom.
