David Fincher directs the true to life story of Mark Zuckerberg's infamous rise to fame.

In this docudrama, with a dark undertone, we explore the reality behind what we now know as Facebook. Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) was in Harvard University when two fellow students,

Cameron and Tyler Winkelvoss (Armie Hammer), approached him to create a social network for exclusive members.

He took their idea and ran with it, literally. Along with his close friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) and soon to be business partner Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), he created he the most successful social network every conceived. But, his victory would come at a price.
