Jobs (2013)

This movie is the story of how Steve Jobs got started with apple and how he took it back over.

He was a college dropout who tried working for other people but realised he wanted to work for himself. So, with the help of Steve Wozniak and a couple of friends he started selling his first computer motherboard to a local store. After a while, he was contacted by an investor who worked for IBM to make a large investment. It then shows how they started in Jobs' s dad' s basement and grew the company from there.

I think it shows he was not a nice guy to his employees, and eventually lost his role in Apple, only to be asked to come back as CEO and save the company.

This is a good movie and Ashton Kutcher did a great job at portraying Steve Jobs. I give this movie a 4.5 out of 5.

Starring Ashton Kutcher (The Butterfly Effect, Dude, Where's My Car?) as Steve Jobs, Dermot Mulroney (The Grey, Zodiac) as Mike Markkula, Josh Gad (Frozen, 21) as Steve Wozniak, Lukas Haas (Inception, Brick) as Daniel Kottke, Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket, The Dark Rises) as John Sculley, J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, Juno) as Arthur Rock, Lesley Ann Warren (Secretary, Clue) as Clara Jobs and Ron Eldard (Black Hawk Down, Super 8) as Rod Holt.
