Steve Jobs (2015)

Steve Jobs is a tense, intimate backstage drama that takes you behind the curtain of the digital revolution to chart the life of the man at its center. Structured around three pivotal product launches—1984 (Macintosh), 1988 (NeXT) and 1998 (iMac)—the film unfolds in real time during the frantic preparations for each unveiling, with flashbacks filling in the backstory. You’ll witness the brilliance and relentless drive that fueled breakthrough products, alongside the personal costs of that obsession: torn relationships, bitter boardroom fights, a long-running paternity dispute, and a leader who demands control at almost any price. Viewers experience a fast‑paced, often raw portrait of a complicated genius: his exacting standards with engineers and marketers, his fraught friendships (notably with fellow co‑founder and engineers), and his uneasy, evolving relationship with the daughter he once denied. The movie blends technical ingenuity and showmanship with intimate confrontations, forcing you to weigh Jobs’s monumental contributions against the sacrifices they required. By the final 1998 iMac reveal the film leaves you with a clear sense of his impact on technology—and the people closest to him—while inviting you to judge the human cost of innovation.
