The revolution came when we weren't looking. It happened in a garage. In a dorm room. In countless hours of effort, imagining and intrigue. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates were changing the way the world works, lives and communicates. The event-packed saga of the quirky visionaries who jump-started the future unfolds with exhilarating, cutting-edge style in Pirates of Silicon Valley. Noah Wyle (ER) portrays Jobs and Anthony Michael Hall (The Dead Zone) portrays Gates in this chronicle of the fierce and often humorous battle to rule the fledgling personal computer empire.

A very decent TV movie, interestingly and briskly made. Probably a must for computer fans.

The Apple vs. Microsoft case was unclear to me for a long time and I’m glad I finally got to watch this movie, which was recommended to me a long time ago. It took me a while to figure out who’s who, but then I just watched the crowd of intriguers, their inventions, ideas and thefts. Not only this movie is well-filmed but it also brutally depicts the behavior of both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. The movie makes it apparent that Gates and Job are full of big talk but the real work is done by their friends, Steve Wozniak and Paul Allen. At times the story is pretty rough, I almost wondered why Jobs and Gates did not oppose it. They probably very well know why. I would just like to know how harshly the commercially better known movie Jobs treated this story.
