From Wikipedia:
"Pirates of Silicon Valley is a 1999 film based on the book Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine. It is a made-for-television docudrama written and directed by Martyn Burke which documents the rise of the home computer (personal computer) through the rivalry between Apple Computer and Microsoft. The film stars Anthony Michael Hall as Bill Gates and Noah Wyle as Steve Jobs."
I loved this movie. I recorded it off of TNT back when it first aired and thought it was great. The tone of the movie was fast paced and even slightly goofy at times and it never took itself too seriously. Anyone else remember it? Love it, hate it?

I recorded it on VHS when it first aired on TNT too. I'm not really sure why I did, because I didn't really care about Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, I think maybe it had something to with the Tear For Fears song that was in the preview.

I watched the movie on TV when it premiered back in 1999. I enjoyed it, and I have it on my computer.

Probably one of the five best Made-for-TV movies ever made. Another good one? Monday Night Mayhem. It's in the same vein as Pirates of Silicon Valley, but with football.
I'm glad someone unearthed this treasure, it's a helluva good movie. Please say it's on netflix.

I like this movie too.. but Linus Torvolds is not in it.

 Episode IV comes first, that is good parenting. |
