Da alcuni considerato un cattivo maestro, da molti un grande filosofo.Accusato di essere l'ideologo delle Brigate Rosse e il mandante morale dell'omicidio di Aldo Moro, Tony Negri è uno dei personaggi più controversi degli anni settanta. Questo film L'eterna rivolta di Alexandra Weitz e Andreas Pichler, ci mostra la micro-storia di un professore, che fu cacciato dall'università e gli fu vietato d'insegnare perchè le sue teorie istigavano alla lotta armata. Incarcerato ingiustamente nel 1979, Negri fu liberato nel 1983 perchè eletto al parlamento nelle file del partito radicale di Marco Pannella, ma il 27 settembre il Parlamento revocò l'arresto e il professore fuggi in Francia,dove rimase in esilio per quattordici anni. Negri scrisse molti libri e trattati di filosofia, ma il vero capolavoro che gli conferi notorietà internazionale nei primi anni 2000, fu Impero, scritto con l'ex allievo Michael Hardt, divenuto uno dei manifesti del cosidetto movimento no global.
