I pirati di Silicon Valley (1999)
Le vite parallele, le opere e soprattutto i business di Steve Jobs e Bill Gates, i due uomini che hanno rivoluzionato il mondo dei computer.Origini e ascesa dei magnati dell'informatica.Il destino ha voluto che le vite di due giovani, Steve Jobs e Bill Gates, fossero strettamente legate nella corsa dell'evoluzione del personal computer e dell'informatica in generale. Uno diventerà fondatore della Apple e l'altro creerà la Microsoft. In mezzo, l'invenzione del Dos e del mouse, il ruolo di Xerox e Ibm... In secondo piano, a commentare la loro ascesa e competizione, Steve Ballmer, presidente della Microsoft, e Steve Wozniak, cofondatore della Apple. Film per la Tv ispirato al libro di Paul Frieberger, che ridimensiona l'aura di genialità che avvolge i protagonisti, enfatizzandone semmai la scaltra preveggenza.
