The biographical drama film “Jobs” is based on the life of Steve Jobs, the original innovator and ground-breaking entrepreneur who let nothing stand in the way of greatness, from 1974 while a student at Reed College to the introduction of the iPod in 2001.

The film opens with Steve Jobs introducing the iPod at an Apple Town Hall meeting. It then flashes back to Reed College in 1974.

Jobs had already dropped out of the university due to the high expense of tuition, but was still auditing classes with the approval of Dean Jack Dudman who took him under his wing.

The film then moves forward to 1976 where Jobs is back in Los Altos, California, living at home with his adoptive parents Paul and Clara. He is working for Atari and develops a partnership with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak after he sees that Wozniak has built a personal computer (Apple 1).

They name their new company Apple Computer, though there already is a company called Apple Records that is owned by The Beatles.

Wozniak gives a demonstration of the Apple 1 at the Homebrew Computer Club, where Jobs receives a contract with Paul Terrell. Jobs then adds Kottke, Bill Fernandez, Bill Atkinson, Chris Espinosa and later Rod Holt to the Apple team to build Apple 1 computers .

Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons and Lesley Ann Warren

Release date: September 27
