2026 is seeing a wave of critically-oriented films about Silicon Valley figures, including Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning about Mark Zuckerberg, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's documentary on Elizabeth Holmes, and Alex Gibney's film on Elon Musk. These projects reflect a broader cultural shift in how tech founders are portrayed in media.
Background
Hollywood has long been sympathetic to disruptive tech founders, with films like The Social Network celebrating them. This trend is reversing as real-world consequences of tech ambition become more apparent.
