In autumn 2003, after being dumped by his girlfriend, Harvard student and computer whizz kid Mark Zuckerberg had an idea. This idea was to create a version of hotornot.com solely focused on students at the university. The site was quickly shut down, but not before it had received 250,000 hits in just a few hours. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss hear of Zuckerberg’s technical know how and invite him to help them create an online community exclusively for Harvard students – the Harvard Connection. Refining the Winklevoss twins’ initial idea, Zuckerberg creates The Facebook, an immediate success. This film tells the story of the early years of Facebook and the accusations Zuckerberg faced about intellectual property theft.
