Pirates of Silicon Valley

Drama97 min

From their college-age beginnings to the rise of Apple and Microsoft, this drama follows the rivalry between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates as personal computing moves from hobbyist obsession to corporate power. Noah Wyle is Jobs, driven and exacting as Apple takes shape alongside Steve Wozniak, while Anthony Michael Hall's Gates comes into focus as a sharp strategist building Microsoft into a dominant force. Spanning the 1970s through the 1990s, the film moves through early experiments, company founding, and the clashes over ideas, timing, and control that helped define the tech industry.
