This documentary tells the forgotten stories of some of the most influential personal computer pioneers in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the late 1960s, big mainframe computers owned by large corporations and the government were seen as tools of control. The Hippie movement and the anti-Vietnam war protests served as a hotbed for a revolutionary idea: creating an affordable home computer to be used by ordinary people as a counterbalance to Big Brother. Well, the rest is history, but what has happened to the early ideals and the initial ethos of free sharing? As one of the visionaries puts it: Its true that what I helped to create is todays establishment. Thats what I was trying to get rid of:the establishment.

Em 2005, quando discursou na Universidade de Stanford, Steve Jobs pediu ajuda para escrever o discurso a Aaron Sorkin, mas acabou por o fazer sozinho, como conta Walter Isaacson na sua biografia do co-fundador da Apple. No início do discurso, Jobs dizia: “Hoje, quero contar-vos três histórias da minha vida. É só isso. Nada de especial. Só três histórias.” Nem por acaso, “Steve Jobs”, o filme de Danny Boyle com argumento de Aaron Sorkin, inspirado no citado livro de Isaacson, com Michael Fassbender no papel principal, é formado por três histórias da vida profissional de Jobs: o lançamento do Macintosh, em 1984; o do esquecido NeXT, em 1988; e o do iMac, em 1998.

Broadly considered a brand that inspires fervour and defines cool consumerism, Apple has become one of the biggest corporations in the world, fuelled by game-changing products that tap into modern desires. Its leader, Steve Jobs, was a long-haired college dropout with infinite ambition, and an inspirational perfectionist with a bully's temper. A man of contradictions, he fused a Californian counterculture attitude and a mastery of the art of hype with explosive advances in computer technology. Insiders including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, the chairman who ousted Jobs from the company he founded, and Jobs' chief of software, tell extraordinary stories of the rise, fall and rise again of Apple with Steve Jobs at its helm. With Stephen Fry, world wide web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee and branding guru Rita Clifton, Evan Davis decodes the formula that took Apple from suburban garage to global supremacy.
