Scripted by The West Wing's Aaron Sorkin and directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, Zodiac), the remarkable story of how Facebook came into creation finally comes to the big screen. Set in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg, Zombieland) began laying out, in his dorm room, the foundation for a social-networking website that would forever change the way we communicate. After a mere six years and 500 million friends later, this ambitious entrepreneur became the youngest billionaire in history. But as the saying goes, it is nearly impossible for one to be successful in personal, vocational and societal matters all at once. In Zuckerberg's case, his entrepreneurial success leads him to both personal and legal complications. Justin Timberlake co-stars as Napster co-creator Sean Parket, with Andrew Garfield playing the ousted Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. The Social Network is based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich.
