影片对白：

Eduardo: Hey, what's going on?

Mark: Perfect timing. Eduardo's here and he's going to have the key ingredient.

Eduardo: Hey, Mark.

Mark: Wardo.

Eduardo: You and Erica split up.

Mark: How did you know that?

Eduardo: It's on your blog.

Mark: Yeah.

Eduardo: Are you all right?

Mark: I need you.

Eduardo: I'm here for you.

Mark: No, I need the algorithm you use to rank chess players.

Eduardo: Are you okay?

Mark: We're ranking girls.

Eduardo: You mean other students.

Mark: Yeah.

Eduardo: You think this is such a good idea?

Mark: I need the algorithm.

Eduardo: Mark...

Mark: I need the algorithm.

Eduardo: Give each girl a base rating of 1400. At any given time Girl A has a rating R-a and Girl B has a rating R-b.

Mark: When any two girls are matched up, there's an expectation of which will win based on their current rating, right?

Eduardo: Yeah. And those expectations are expressed this way.

Mark: Let's write it.

Dustin: One on the left. The right. Yeah, still the right.

Eduardo: It works.

Dustin: Who should we send it to first?

Eduardo: Dwyer.

Chris: Neal.

Eduardo: Who are you gonna send it to?

Mark: Just a couple of people. The question is, who are they gonna send it to?

Boy 1: Hey, guys, check this out

Boys: Someone go to the left. Dude, do left.

Boy 1: Look at these girls. Right or left?

Boys: Left is hot.

Boy 1: Left?

Boys: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Boy 1: Right or left?

Girl 1: That's my roommate.

Boy 2: Oh, my God. The girl on the left.

Girl 2: This is pathetic.

Boys: Right. Left. Left. Left?

Erica's roommate: Oh, shit. Albright. He blogged about you. You don't wanna read it.

Boys: Left. Latina.

Boy 3: Erica. Is this yours? I stole it from a tranny.

Erica’s roommate: Get the hell out of here!

Boys: Left. One on the right. Left.

Eduardo: Man, that's an awful lot of traffic. You think maybe we shouldn't shut it down before we get into trouble?

Man 1: Hello? Wait, wait, wait, wait. What? At 4:00 in the morning?

Man 2: Well, there's a very unusual amount of traffic to the switch at Kirkland.

Man 1: You're saying it's unusual for 4:00 in the morning?

Man 2: No, this'd be unusual for halftime at the Super Bowl.

Man 1: All right. I gotta go in.

Man 1’s wife: What's going on?

Man 1: Harvard's network is about to crash.

Eduardo: You don't think...

Mark: I do.

Eduardo: Go see if it's everybody's.

Dustin: I can't connect. The network's down.

Eduardo: Unless it's a coincidence, I think this is us.

Mark: It's not a coincidence.

影片简介：

2003年秋，哈佛大学。恃才放旷的天才学生马克·扎克伯格被女友甩掉，愤怒之际，马克入侵了学校的系统，盗取了校内所有漂亮女生的资料，并制作名为“Facemash”的网站供同学们对辣妹评分。这一网站吸引了众多哈佛男生，最后导致学校的服务器瘫痪，马克·扎克伯格也因此在哈佛一夜成名。

 

马克的举动引起了温克沃斯兄弟的注意，他们邀请马克加入团队，共同建立一个社交网站。马克参考他们的概念，和好友爱德华多共同创建了The facebook网站，很快该网站在校内大受欢迎。

 

随后马克将网站扩展至其他美国大学。他和爱德华多与Napster创办人肖恩·帕克会面，肖恩和马克都认为现在不是下广告的时候，肖恩还建议将The facebook的名称简化为Facebook，并将公司基地搬往加州。

 

爱德华多坚持留在纽约为Facebook拉广告，但是进展并不理想。他抵达自己为公司在加州租下的房子时发现，肖恩在自己不知情的情况下成了公司的一分子，而且似乎已经取代自己的位置。爱德华多勃然大怒，并和马克吵了一架。气头上的爱德华多将公司账号注销并搭机返回纽约。爱德华多回到纽约的当晚，女友找上门来逼问他为何不回短信，爱德华多觉得自己快被逼疯了。这时马克打电话来责问他为何对公司做出这种事，随后又告诉他公司获得了一笔巨额投资，让他赶紧回加州办理手续。爱德华多转悲为喜，并和女友分手，离开纽约。

 

温克沃斯兄弟参加完英国伦敦举行的赛艇赛事后，发现Facebook已扩展至英国的大学，于是决定向马克提出诉讼。网站迅速扩大，人手也不断增加，眼看Facebook用户数很快将突破百万，这时爱德华多被召回总部签署文件，但他惊愕地发现自己的股份竟被瓜分至0.03%，愤怒的爱德华多决定起诉马克，他们的友谊也就此终结。马克同时面对两宗官司诉讼，结果是庭外和解，对方获得了合理的赔偿。

 

年轻的马克拥有了财富和名气，但这些是他最想要的吗？马克打开Facebook，将前女友加为好友，并不断地刷新页面……
