Which 2015 biographical film about Steve Jobs stars Michael Fassbender?

The 2015 biographical film about Steve Jobs starring Michael Fassbender is Steve Jobs. Fassbender portrays Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in a drama written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle.

Rather than presenting Jobs’s entire life in a conventional chronology, the film is structured around backstage preparations for three major product launches. These include the Macintosh 128K in 1984, the NeXT Computer in 1988, and the iMac G3 in 1998.

The screenplay was adapted from Walter Isaacson’s 2011 biography of Jobs, but the film takes substantial dramatic liberties. Its tightly staged confrontations and repeated encounters are designed to reveal relationships and personality, not to reproduce every conversation exactly as it happened.

The title can cause confusion because Jobs is also the name of a 2013 biographical film starring Ashton Kutcher. The Social Network is about Facebook, while Pirates of Silicon Valley is a television film about the early rivalry between Apple and Microsoft.
