It is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made-for-television" target="_blank">made-for-television</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docudrama" target="_blank">docudrama</a> written and directed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyn_Burke" target="_blank">Martyn Burke</a> which documents the rise of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_computer" target="_blank">home computer</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer" target="_blank">personal computer</a>) through the rivalry between <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc." target="_blank">Apple Computer</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft" target="_blank">Microsoft</a>.PlotThe feature film opens with a monologue by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs" target="_blank">Steve Jobs</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Wyle" target="_blank">Noah Wyle</a>) who appears to be talking directly to the audience about the film they are about to see. He states:   “ I don't want you to think of this as just a film, some process of converting electrons and magnetic impulses into shapes and figures and sounds. No. Listen damn it. We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why even be here? We're creating a completely new consciousness, like an artist or a poet. That's how you have to think of this. We're rewriting the history of human thought with what we're doing. ”   As the camera angle shifts, it is revealed that Jobs is actually talking to director <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridley_Scott" target="_blank">Ridley Scott</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._G._Hertzler" target="_blank">J. G. Hertzler</a>), who is in the process of creating the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_%28television_commercial%29" target="_blank">1984 commercial</a> for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer" target="_blank">Apple Computer</a> (which was released for a single airing in the United States on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_22" target="_blank">22 January</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984" target="_blank">1984</a> during the third quarter of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XVIII" target="_blank">Super Bowl XVIII</a> and introduced the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh" target="_blank">Macintosh</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer" target="_blank">personal computer</a> to an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" target="_blank">American</a> audience for the first time).<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_of_Silicon_Valley#cite_note-0" target="_blank">[1]</a> In response, Scott tells Jobs, "Well, Steven, right now I'm a touch more worried about getting light on the actress, do you know what I mean?" The film next jumps ahead to 1997, after Jobs has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Apple#1997:_The_Return_of_Jobs" target="_blank">returned to Apple</a> and announces <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Apple#The_Microsoft_deal" target="_blank">a new deal with Microsoft</a> at the '97 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macworld_Expo" target="_blank">Macworld Expo</a>. His partner, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak" target="_blank">Steve Wozniak</a> (Joey Slotnick), is introduced as one of the two central <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrator" target="_blank">narrators</a> of the story. Wozniak notes to the audience the resemblance between "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_%281984%29" target="_blank">Big Brother</a>" and the image of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates" target="_blank">Bill Gates</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Michael_Hall" target="_blank">Anthony Hall</a>) on the screen behind Jobs during this announcement. Asking how they "got from there to here," the film turns to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashbacks" target="_blank">flashbacks</a> of his youth with Jobs, prior to the forming of Apple.</blockquote>
