I used the search function at the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) and looked for movies with characters named "Tesla" and this is what I found that appears to be about Nicola Tesla (versus characters sharing his last name):
- There was a "Nicola Tesla" TV show back in 1977
- Tajna Nikole Tesle (1980) (The Secret of Nicola Tesla), a Serbo-Croatian movie that appears to have an English version
- Tesla (1993), a Serbo-Croatian TV movie
- Tesla: Master of Lightning (2000), made for TV movie/documentary
- Tesla ili prilagodjavanje andjela (2001), a Serbo-Croatian TV show or movie
- The Visionary* - (*Tesla) (2005) short film
