This is the Facebook story according to the Ben Mezrich book The Accidental Billionaires. It’s the somewhat embellished, heightened-for-the-big-screen tale of how Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook, and how his best friend, along with several others, ended up sueing him for millions.

David Fincher (Se7en/Fight Club) directs, The West Wing’s Aaron Sorkin writes, lead roles are filled by Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg, Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin and Justin Timberlake as Napster founder Sean Parker.

Through their combined effort, bound together with a pitch-perfect score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Social Network snap crackles and pops its way onto the big screen so memorably, you’ll be in the next queue to see it again.

Its easy to jump on the critics’ bandwagon here, this film has received hefty praise from some heavyweight reviewers. Rolling Stone magazine’s Peter Travers said the film “gets you drunk on movies again”. Former Variety reviewer Todd McCarthy likened The Social Network to Citizen Kane.
