You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.
A stellar young cast that includes Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland), Rooney Mara (The Winning Season), Armie Hammer (TV's Gossip Girl), Max Minghella (Agora) and Justin Timberlake (The Open Road), and a razor-sharp script from Emmy®-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (TV's The West Wing), helped this acclaimed film make many friends at the box office. Add your name to the list.
On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication.
A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history...but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.
Sign on to this winner.

Fresh: Fincher and Sorkin's ironic essay on both the advances and decline in social networking
-Joe Baltake, Passionate Moviegoer, November 16, 2010Fresh: Snappy script, sharp editing, eerily perfect soundtrack and nuanced performances. One of the first films to articulate the psychological power and draw of the internet: what it feeds us and why we feed on it
-Marc Fennell, Triple j, November 10, 2010Fresh: The Social Network's portrait of Zuckerberg, replete with the jerky rhythms and constant scanning of the truly net addicted, epitomises that change. For that, and some very fine drama indeed, this film is a must-see.
-Julie Rigg, MovieTime, ABC Radio National, October 28, 2010Fresh: It's a credit to the combined efforts of Fincher and Sorkin that the dramatic tension can (more than once) culminate in the refreshing of a website.
