Director David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven)
teams with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) to explore the meaning of
success in the early 21st century from the perspectives of the technological
innovators who revolutionized the way we all communicate. The year was 2003. As
prohibitively expensive technology became affordable to the masses and the
Internet made it easy to stay in touch with people who were halfway across the
world, Harvard undergrad and computer programming wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse
Eisenberg) launched a website with the potential to alter the very fabric of
our society. At the time, Zuckerberg was just six years away from making his
first million. But his hearty payday would come at a high price, because
despite all of Zuckerberg's wealth and success, his personal life began to
suffer as he became mired in legal disputes, and discovered that many of the
500 million people he had friended during his rise to the top were eager to see
him fall. Chief among that growing list of detractors was Zuckerberg's former
college friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), whose generous financial
contributions to Facebook served as the seed that helped the company to sprout.
And some might argue that Zuckerberg's bold venture wouldn't have evolved into
the cultural juggernaut that it ultimately became had Napster founder Sean
Parker (Justin Timberlake) not spread the word about Facebook to the venture
capitalists from Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer
and Josh Pence) engage Zuckerberg in a fierce courtroom battle for ownership of
Facebook that left many suspecting the young entrepreneur might have let his
greed eclipse his better judgment. The Social Network was based on the book The
Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich.
