thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 20 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Kevin P Jan 26 A very engaging hidden gem of a 90’s made-for-TV movie that’s impressively aged well with its spot-on depictions of the cunning computer business schemes and inevitable rivalry between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. It’s very informative and entertaining about their wild backstories and humble beginnings with a clear focus and coherent story despite the wide spread of time covered. Scrappy nerdy underdogs turning into pirates stealing from each other as they both become the new faces of the tech industry. See more Nevin C @nevincaulfield 09/10/2024 Best movie about Steve Jobs /Bill Gates. And, maybe the only. See more Jimmy J 07/16/2024 They should’ve kissed and just get it over with man… See more Andy H 11/22/2023 Amazing movie about the personal computing revolution See more Paul D 03/16/2023 I loved it a lot, without a doubt one of the best movies I have seen that talks about the history of the two famous companies that we know today, A good story where he tells us about the beginning of these two companies, how they treated each other, what they did and what conflicts they faced, this film will undoubtedly be liked by programmers, How to young people or those who are not programmers And to those who have heard of these their companies and did not know their origin and what they did.
