A high-tech docudrama that follows the rise of the personal-computer era companies of Apple and Microsoft from their humble college and backyard beginnings to their public battle for corporate domination. The movie follows the lives of Microsoft founder Bill Gates (Anthony Michael Hall) and the co-founders of Apple Computers, Steve Jobs (Noah Wyle) and Steve Wozniak (Joey Slotnick). Gates is brilliant but unmotivated in college and drops out of Harvard to start Microsoft. Jobs and Wozniak are paragons of the hippie-slacker movement who both work for Hewlett-Packard. Jobs and Wozniak desire to bring the computer inside the home. Jobs and Wozniak go on to found Apple, basing their success on borrowing and outright stealing key technology from Xerox. Later on as Apple fractures due to its corporate success, Gates and Microsoft enter the picture and ultimately learn from and surpass the brains behind Apple. Gates and Microsoft squash Apple in the global marketplace and become the global powerhouse that it is known as today.
