Pirates of Silicon Valley

All revolutions are the sheerest fantasy until they happen; then they become historical inevitabilities.

Martyn Burke directed the film Pirates of Silicon Valley in 1999 which based on the book Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine.

The film documents the impact on the development of the personal computer of the rivalry between Apple Computer and Microsoft. It spans the time period of the early 1970s to 1997, how Apple co-founder Steve Jobs (Noah Wyle) and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates (Anthony Michael Hall) were changing the way the world works, lives and communicates today as they set up two of the biggest computer companies back in 1970s.

The film covers not just the business part of their lives but their personal lives with their friends and families as well. Note that the events that take place in the film are based on actual events but what's shown is not fully accurate.

There is no greatness without a passion to be great, 

whether it's the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent or a businessperson. 
You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.
