The movie stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, depicting his time at Harvard and the creation of Facebook. It follows the legal battles that arose when twins accused him of stealing their idea, and a co-founder was pushed out of the company. A major success, the film earned $224 million on a $40 million budget and received eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.
