“Phil Sharp’s journey is a roadmap for the future of science and innovation. Cracking the Code not only celebrates his achievements but also challenges us to imagine what’s next. This film is a call to action for the next generation of scientists to dream big, take risks, and change the world.” – Reed Jobs, American venture capitalist and founder of Yosemite Fund.
Cracking the Code, narrated by Mark Ruffalo, is an inspiring story of vision, perseverance, and the power of science to change the world. Sharp’s path from a Kentucky farm boy to Nobel laureate embodies the American Dream and the triumph of entrepreneurial spirit.
Sharp’s 1977 groundbreaking discovery of RNA splicing rewrote the rules of molecular biology and ignited a life-saving scientific revolution, laying the foundation for an industry that has become a cornerstone of global innovation and economic growth – and transformed the health of billions of patients worldwide. 2025, U.S., DCP, 98 minutes.
