Hugh Herr stands in a lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he develops advanced prosthetics. After losing both legs in a climbing accident on Mount Washington at age 17, Herr became a scientist dedicated to improving mobility for amputees. His work led to the creation of brain-controlled robotic limbs that enhance movement and functionality. The film details Herr's innovations and proposes new methods for amputations, merging science with human determination to address physical challenges.
