The Social Network

Director: David Fincher

Screenwriter: Aaron Sorkin

Cast: Jesse Eisenberg,Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake

It is a film about Facebook and its founders.

Based on the book,The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich,the film proves that you don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.

On a fall night in 2003,Harvard undergraduate and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming,what begins in his dorm room,soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication.

Six years and 500 million friends later,Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history,but for this entrepreneur,success leads to both personal and legal complications.

David Fincher says: In some ways,the film is an age-old story. It highlights how a group of people set off to do the right thing and how they eventually decide they wont complete the journey together.
