Directed by David Fincher • 2010 • United States
Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake

Hailed as one of the great films of the twenty-first century thus far, David Fincher’s brilliant and unsettling look at the rise of the social-media era goes behind the scenes of early-2000s startup culture to reveal the moral bankruptcy between the billions. As ambitious Harvard undergrad Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) turns his social-networking site Facebook into a global phenomenon, he finds himself mired in a legal battle with the former friends whom he betrayed on his way to the top. With its virtuosic script by Aaron Sorkin, icy ambient score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and a roster of pitch-perfect performances, THE SOCIAL NETWORK plays like nothing less than a CITIZEN KANE for the internet age.
