Nerds, Mathematicians and Computer Science Graduates alike, each and everybody belonging to the geek fraternity has known and jotted down notes on the Travelling Salesman problem. The quintessential NP-hard problem of all time is now a titular movie written and directed by Timothy Lanzone, premiering on 16th June 2012.

Travelling Salesman is an intellectual thriller about four mathematicians hired by the U.S. government to solve the most elusive problem in computer science history - P VS. NP. The four together have created a "system" which could bring about a major change in our civilization and offer a path of progress for the society.

Now, P vs NP problem is a rather infamous problem. Blame its unresolved nature, which renders it unconquerable. Proving P= NP would have significant consequences in mathematical applications as well as practical day-today life. This movie underlines the same and plays with the idea of implications if P=NP were true.
