My Favorite Apple/Microsoft Movie

This is easily the best Apple / Microsoft movie for me, and it was made for TV. Noah Wyle looks so much like Steve Jobs that they actually brought him out on Apple's annual conference to parody jobs for a few minutes and it took a moment for people to notice! It's a must watch. I wanted a physical copy to put in my office display. There are so many actors in this movie that you might recognize. Noah Wyle, from ER, plays Steve Jobs, Anthony Michael Hall, from too many movies to name, plays Bill Gates. JG Hertzler, General Martok from Star Trek DS9, plays Riddley Scott for the famous Apple 1984 commercial. John DiMaggio, Bender Futurama, plays Steve Ballmer.

I saw this movie laying on top of one of the bins in my local Best Buy. I remembered liking it when it first aired on TNT back in the 1990s so I decided to check it out.
This movie is leaps and bounds above the recent movie made about Steve Jobs. PoSV goes into the origins of both Apple and Microsoft and ends with their partnership in the late 90s. Great cast and story no matter which company you prefer!
My only issue is that the movie was just thrown on a disc and put in shelves. I can't say I'd blame the makers though, this is a made for TV movie after all and the price was way worth it.

Great movie. Shows early interactions between two tech titans that most may not be aware of. Wish it would be released on Blu Ray.

This is a nice made for TV movie. Although not 100% accurate, explains how Apple and Microsoft were founded and a clear contrast between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates personalities.

The movie is good especially if you like Anthony Michael Hall. While it does take liberties with reality, it's a good run. The extras on the disc are practically non-existant.

The title sums it up completely. If it is true, both men got help for others and little is known about these helpers.

Great movie for Steve Jobs fan

This was a made for TV movie so it never got the press coverage a big box office release gets. Both the actors that play the parts of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were spot on with their characters. They even look like Jobs and Gates back in the day In fact Steve Wozniak said the movie was accurate, although some events were out of order.
If you want to see how two college drop outs started their own businesses and became billionaires...this is your movie
