The Social Network, the story of the creation of Facebook, is a riveting drama full of back-stabbing and intrigue. Directed by David Fincher from a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network explores the fascinating beginnings of the website launched by then Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg) and his one-time best friend - and Facebook's first CFO - Eduardo Saverin (played by Andrew Garfield). Sorkin's script traces the start-up of the company and the subsequent legal action taken by Saverin after being denied what he believed was his share of the company. Zuckerberg's fellow Harvard students Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss also sued the Facebook creator, alleging he took their idea for a dating website and turned it into Facebook. Their story also plays out in The Social Network with Armie Hammer, who is not a twin, taking on the task of playing the wealthy, 6'5" Olympic rowers (along with help from actor Josh Pence).
