Eddie Morra’s (Bradley Cooper) future looks pretty depressing after his girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) rejects him and being an out of work writer. That all changes when Eddie gets introduced to NZT, a super pharmaceutical that enhances his focus and makes him more confident than any man.
Fuelled by NZT Eddie’s mind soaks up everything he has read, heard and seen making it available as soon as he needs it. Rising from nothing to the top of the financial world Eddie catches the eye business tycoon Carl van Loon (Robert De Niro) who sees Eddie as the tool to make billions.
With his NZT running low and hit men hunting him down to get the NZT, Eddie must stay supped up long enough to fulfil his dreams and avoid being captured. If he fails he will be just another victim who thought they have found invincibility in a pill.
