Based on the 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires, this Golden Globe winner for Best Motion Picture – Drama depicts the founding of Facebook and the two simultaneous lawsuits filed against CEO Mark Zuckerberg in the aftermath of the website's success. The Social Network has been hailed for its razor-sharp dialogue, a trademark of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, and for its dark mood, which hails directly from director David Fincher's playbook. The movie's roster boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Rashida Jones and newcomer Rooney Mara. |
