So I just had a random memory of this film (possibly tv show) that I happened to flick over too at some distant time in the past and catch 5 minutes of, and now it's driving me nuts trying to figure out what it was.
I'm pretty sure Peter MacNicol was in it, and was the main character of the scene I happened to catch, and it went something like this:
Peter's character is in a courtroom and being asked questions about a computer chip he is making or has designed. I think they're grilling him about the fact that he's spent millions of $ and no chip has been made, and also that he seems to be insane and has paranoid delusions. He's claiming that he can see the chip in his head, it will be revolutionary and he just needs more time. I think they ask him if he thinks people are going to kidnap him and do experiments on him, and he says something like "they did it to Einstein.."
That's it, that's all I have. IMDB isn't helping me, does anyone know wtf I'm talking about?

Looking through IMDB Numb3rs seems like the most likely assuming it was Peter MacNicol. Does this scenario sound familiar to anyone who knows the show?

A Fistful of Dollars is the film you're looking for OP.
So I can't find any more information about it, but... I seemed to remember that the computer chip in question was called the nix chip or nicks chip. Peter MacNicol played a character called Darryl Nicks in and episode of The Lyons Den called The Quantum Theory. The lions den is a legal drama, which would explain the courtroom setting. I'm guessing this is it, though can't seem to find any other info on the episode
