This little-known direct-to-TV movie manages to portray the amazing charisma that Steve Jobs had on his employees. You get to see how Apple software engineers effectively worship Jobs, work for him (not for the company) 52 hours straight with no sleep, and under his direction, fight coworkers – literally: Jobs had organized his employees in two groups (Apple II and MacIntosh) and riled them up against each other, knowing that internal competition will lead to a better product. John Sculley, the orthodox Apple CEO that Jobs hired, naturally found this civil war to be an ill idea. In one scene, he talks to Jobs. Jobs, however, knows what he’s doing:

John Sculley: Steve, I’m worried. About what’s happening. All the “them versus us” stuff. Macintosh versus Apple II.
Steve Jobs: You don’t understand, John. People need a cause.

this movie is worth consuming because it makes you realize that you can be rich.

Aside from the fact that the main protagonists only looked like Bill&Steve if you REALLY squint your eyes and/or are not familiar with these two icons of modern desktop computing (but then why would you ever watch it?) I’ve seen this story told elsewhere, and much better, too.

Then again, Steve Wozniak has stated on his website that the film is mostly accurate, though some details and events are occasionally simplified or slightly edited. He also notes that the personalities of the film’s subjects are true to life.
