Jobs is one of two films about Steve Jobs released after his death in 2011; the other is Steve Jobs (2015), in which Michael Fassbender plays the lead role. As early as 1999, the television film The Silicon Valley Story told the beginnings of Apple and Microsoft.
action
The action begins in 2001, with Steve Jobs presenting the iPod at a town hall meeting . This is followed by a flashback to Reed College in 1974. Jobs has already dropped out due to the high tuition fees, but continues to attend courses, and he is particularly enthusiastic about the calligraphy course. Jobs meets his friend Daniel Kottke , who is fascinated by the fact that Jobs has the book Be Here Now by Ram Dass with him. Inspired by this book and their experiences with LSD , Jobs and Kottke spend some time in India.
The film jumps into 1976, Jobs lives again in Los Altos with his adoptive parents Paul and Clara. Working at Atari he developed a friendship with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak , who is currently building a personal computer. After founding the Apple Computer company , they call this computer Apple 1 . Following Wozniak's not particularly impressive presentation of the Apple 1 at the Homebrew Computer Club , Jobs was able to convince computer dealer Paul Terrel to order a first batch of computers from the young company. Jobs' father Paul leaves his garage for their new company, in which Kottke, Bill Fernandez, Bill Atkinson, Chris Espinosa and later Rod Holt work to produce the Apple 1. Thanks to an investment by Mike Markkula, the company has managed to rise and dedicate itself to new projects.
Jobs and Wozniak develop the Apple II and present it in 1977 at the West Coast Computer Faire . The Apple II becomes a great success; Apple Computers and Jobs are now well known. Jobs suddenly begins to distance himself from old friends, as well as from his girlfriend Chris-Ann Brennan. This previously informed Jobs that she was pregnant by him. Jobs denied paternity even after Lisa Brennan-Jobs was born .
John Sculley is named Apple Computer CEO at Jobs' suggestion . After Jobs became more and more unpredictable - because he fired employees just because they didn't share his love for computer fonts - Jobs switched from the Lisa to the Macintosh group. Due to ongoing conflicts between jobs and employees, Sculley fired him from the company in 1985.
The film jumps forward to 1996. Jobs is now married to Laurene Powell Jobs and sees Lisa as his daughter, who now lives with him. He also has a son and is the CEO of NeXT , which Apple buys. Jobs is asked by current Apple CEO Gil Amelio to return to the company as a consultant. Jobs pushes Amelio out of his position after a short time and then also ensures the departure of Markkula, because he did not support him 11 years ago after his expulsion from Apple. He is interested in the work of Jonathan Ive and decides to reinvent Apple with him. The film ends with Jobs' (later released) sound recording of the 1997 campaign “ Think Different ”.

production
Screenwriter Matt Whiteley began work on the script when it became known that Steve Jobs was temporarily leaving Apple to fight pancreatic cancer. Director Joshua Michael Stern stated in an interview that all of the material for the script came from research and interviews. The producer Mark Hilme put together a team of experts who sifted through all public records and interviews that had anything to do with jobs. The team also interviewed many people who had worked at Apple or with Steve Jobs.
Filming began in June 2012 in Jobs' parents' house in Los Altos ( CA ) with the help of Jobs' stepmother Marilyn jobs that still lives there. The flashback to Jobs' time at Reed College was filmed at the University of California, Los Angeles .
publication
