College dropout Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), together with his friend, technical whiz-kid Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad), sparks a revolution in home computers with the invention of the Apple 1 in 1976. Built in the garage of Jobs' parents, the device -- and the subsequent formation of Apple Inc. -- have changed the world for all time. Though he is viewed as a visionary, Jobs' tenure as Apple's leader is a rocky one, leading to his eventual ouster from the company he co-founded.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An ambitious but skin-deep portrait of an influential, complex figure, Jobs often has the feel of an over-sentimentalized made-for-TV biopic.

A Steve Jobs biopic steeped in the mediocrity its subject despised. Go to Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 09/06/2017

Too often the audience is taken out of the scene with thoughts of" Hey, isn't that Ashton Kutcher?" simply because the portrayal comes off too contrived. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 08/23/2013
2/5
Jobs' remarkable life and persistently prickly personality are simply too complicated and his roller-coaster ride to the top of the personal-computing business is simply too crammed with improbable side trips and switchbacks to distill into 128 minutes.

Dave O @DaveO495 11h I've followed Apple since the beginning. This movie is very accurate. I first used an Apple 2 in 1981. I saw the Macintosh Super Bowl Ad when it premiered at the start of Halftime in 1984. The only thing missed was Jobs and his staff visiting the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and discovering the Graphic Users Interface and Mouse. But, the movie didn't have time for everything probably. The movie follows both the invention phases of the Apple, Apple 2, Lisa, and Macintosh and all the business and politics issues that followed. It is a good piece of History. Well Done Movie. See more @MathisGB Nov 16 This movie really captures the start of Apple as a company. We can see the struggle that Steve Jobs had during his life working at Apple, and in his personal life. Despite the critics, I really enjoyed it! See more Stephen C @bob25009 Nov 4 Based on a true story in 2 hours and 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The worldwide gross is $42,128,352.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Andrew L Nov 2 The darling of YouTube Shorts, which is funny as I had to watch this in three sittings. Jobs famously wanted his products to look beautiful, inside and out, and with some nice era-appropriate set design and cinematography, we get at least halfway there with this Jobs. Unfortunately, it’s not the half that matters and we care little for anyone, or anything, despite the rousing orchestral scores’ best efforts. See more Rob A Jul 10 They cut the ending short by about 10-15 minutes; if you watch the film you'll see what I mean. But the movie does paint an even handed portrait of the late tech legend. It's certainly not all sunshine and rainbows. Ashton Kutcher was solid and this biopic, while forgetabble, wasn't horrible. See more Owen K May 12 watched this in economics. ts sucks.
