What is the title of David Fincher's 2010 film about Facebook?

The story behind the answer

The title of David Fincher’s 2010 film about Facebook is The Social Network. The film is a biographical drama about the founding of Facebook and the disputes that followed its rapid rise.

Aaron Sorkin wrote the screenplay, adapting Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires. Jesse Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg, with Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, and Armie Hammer as Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The story is structured around depositions and flashbacks, blending documented events with dramatic interpretation.

The Social Network was released in October 2010 and became one of Fincher’s most acclaimed films. Its atmospheric score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Score. A common mix-up is treating the film as a literal documentary: Zuckerberg and Facebook staff were not directly involved in its production, and several personal scenes were dramatized.
