The scientist, Mr. Nash, whose life is portrayed in this movie died in a car crash in 2015 along with his wife. That is a sad ending to a Nobel prize winner's life after suffering from paranoia and hallucinations , if you want to believe the makers of the movie!!
[I say, 'if...' because I have been 'accused' of the similar disease and though I do not fully agree with the diagnosis, people have been doing 'strange' things around me as well. It might be a method to cover-up the stuff, the 'authorities' do not want exposed and call the whole thing a hallucination. And it soon becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, even if you were normal earlier when you are extra sensitive, isolated from your family and live 'inside'. ]
While he was a student at the campus, Nash develops a loving relationship with his roommate and roommate's niece. He is super-intelligent though somewhat eccentric. A government agent seeks his help in deciphering Russian codes and Mr. Nash accepts the job. Soon he becomes obsessed with it and has room full of newspaper clippings about the Russians. Nash comes across a pretty lady and marries her. Lo and behold, he is told to see a psychiatrist because there is no 'roommate' friend, no little niece and no government agent who hired him to decipher Russian codes!!!! These are all 'hallucinations' that Mr. Nash continues to see even while he is being treated. Not believing the doctors, Mr. Nash, struggles and revolts against the treatment. He is forced to accept the treatment in the end and chooses to ignore the 'hallucinations'. He restarts his life on the campus and soon wins a Nobel prize and respect from his colleagues. That is where the movie ends. Russell Crowe does a commendable job portraying odd 'Nash' as an introvert - with the help of his make-up artist.
