A Brief History of Time is a 1991 biographical documentary film about the physicist Stephen Hawking, directed by Errol Morris. The title derives from Hawking's bestselling book A Brief History of Time, but whereas the book is an explanation of cosmology, the film is a biography of Hawking's life, featuring interviews with family members, colleagues, and even his childhood nanny. The music is by frequent Morris collaborator, Philip Glass.
The film project originated with executive producer Gordon Freedman who brought the project to Anglia Television as a co-producer. After acquiring the property, Freedman met with director Steven Spielberg for advice on how to make the project into an important documentary film. Spielberg suggested Errol Morris as director. Freedman's production company partnered with Anglia Television and Tokyo Broadcasting. David Hickman, of Anglia, become the film's producer.

The film, like Morris' other works, is unnarrated and the stories are told purely through interviews. It is divided into two main sections. The first concerns Floyd "Mac" McClure and his lifelong quest to allow pets to have a graceful burial. McClure's business associates and his competitor, a manager of a rendering plant, are interviewed. Eventually the business fails and the 450 animals have to be dug up and transported to the Bubbling Well Pet Memorial Park. This operation is run by John "Cal" Harberts and his two sons. This business is far more successful, and continues to operate today, run by Cal's son Dan Harberts.

The overall plot of the film focuses on the interviews of former Secretary of defense, Robert McNamara, who was interviewed for about 20 hours by the director of the documentary, Errol Morris, through a special device called the "Interrotron" which projects images of interviewer and interviewee on two-way mirrors in front of their respective cameras so each appears to be talking directly to the other. Use of this device is intended to convey actual interaction with each other and direct eye contact with the viewer.

The major portion of the film is spent addressing excerpts from the millions of memos, nicknamed 'Yellow Perils' by his first Pentagon staff and 'Snowflakes' by the second, that Rumsfeld wrote during his time as a congressman and advisor to four different presidents, twice as United States Secretary of Defense. It also focuses on a response Rumsfeld gave to a question at a U.S. Department of Defense news briefing on February 12, 2002 about the lack of evidence linking the government of Iraq with the supply of weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups. The content of the memos are varied, covering everything from the aftermath of Watergate, to the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal, to the definition of the word “terrorism”. Morris returns to the motif of snowflakes swirling within a snow globe throughout the documentary as he discusses the context of the memos with Rumsfeld, notes to which the Defense Secretary gave him limited access while preparing the film, and which Rumsfeld agrees to read aloud on camera.

Au commencement, un homme et une femme achèvent un pique-nique et entament une sieste au bord d'un lac à Chicago. La caméra qui les filme est placée à un mètre au-dessus d'eux. Elle reste centrée sur ce couple, mais va progressivement s'éloigner vers le haut, permettant au fur et à mesure d'avoir un champ de vision de plus en plus vaste sur ce qui entoure la scène initiale. La largeur du champ de vision et la hauteur du point de vue de la scène sont multipliées par 10 toutes les dix secondes, jusqu'à ce que l'on arrive aux limites observables de l'univers. Une fois « là », dans l'infiment grand, la caméra fait machine arrière, en accéléré, pour revenir sur la main de l'homme (toujours allongé sur l'herbe). La caméra pénètre alors la main de l'homme pour arriver cette fois à l'échelle du plus petit élément connu : le quark.
