The film is based on the authorized biography of Jobs written by Walter Isaacson and is divided into three distinct acts, each occurring before the launch of three iconic company products: the Macintosh in 1984, the NeXT Cube in 1988, and the iMac in 1998.
An exploration of the themes of family, work, and ambition

The screenplay, written by Aaron Sorkin, delves deeply into the dynamics of human relationships and how they can be affected by success and ambition.

Kate Winslet, in the role of Joanna Hoffman, Jobs’ loyal assistant, also delivers a remarkable performance, adding emotional depth to her character.
Dynamic direction
Boyle’s direction brings undeniable energy to the film. Through innovative camera movements and judicious use of music, Boyle manages to maintain the fast pace of the film without ever losing sight of the emotional aspect of the story.
A meticulous aesthetic
