This is by far one of the best, if not the best movie about the creation of both Apple and Microsoft and is essential viewing for any tech enthusiast or IT person as it gives you a great and accurate insight into the start of both companies.

The portrayal by both Noah Wyle (Steve Jobs) and Anthony Michael Hall (Bill Gates) was flawless as after watching footage of both Jobs and Gates at the time I can say at some points I forgot I was watching a movie and almost felt like a documentary how accurate they portrayed both these real-life legends, also they don't shy away to show that Steve Jobs wasn't a very nice person and Bill Gates is maybe a person you shouldn't trust in any way at the time. Also need to give a shout out to both John DiMaggio (Steve Balmer) and Joey Slotnick (Steve Wozniak) who both narrate a large portion of the film and once again do justice to both of these real-life figures.

Now the film is a little flawed because it was a made for TV film by TNT and you can tell it had a very small budget, but for what it's worth they tell the story really well with such a small budget and I would love to see a director like Adam McKay redirect this film with a bigger budget but keep the exact same story.

Otherwise, I urge you to give this film a watch and get ready to learn the true story of how the computer world as we know it was created.

P.S. If you work for TNT, please beg them to remaster this film if possible.
