The Social Network

Movie / Show Details

David Fincher directs this 2010 drama about Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard student whose idea for a social networking site becomes Facebook, eventually reaching 500 million users worldwide. Jesse Eisenberg stars as the brilliant but socially awkward Zuckerberg, whose meteoric rise to billionaire status comes with significant personal and legal consequences. The film, written by Aaron Sorkin, frames the story around two lawsuits: one from classmates who claim Zuckerberg stole their concept, and another from his original business partner, played by Andrew Garfield. Justin Timberlake appears as Sean Parker, the charismatic former Napster founder who becomes a tempering influence on Zuckerberg’s ambitions.

This is a single-disc DVD release with a runtime of two hours and a PG-13 rating from Sony Pictures Releasing. The film explores how the business of social networking can be surprisingly unsocial, examining Zuckerberg’s journey through both triumph and conflict.
