The founding of Facebook, told through two depositions and a lot of fast, overlapping dialogue. Fincher shoots a story about coders and lawyers like a thriller. The camera never lets a conversation sit still.

How it was made

• Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus doubled for Harvard.
• The film was shot wide open at T1.3 on Master Primes, with heavy neutral density filters on exteriors.
• The opening scene took 99 takes. The Henley rowing sequence used a miniature faking process.
