The Social Network is a 2010 drama film about the founding of the Internet social networking website Facebook. The film was directed by David Fincher and features an ensemble cast—Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Brenda Song, Max Minghella, Rooney Mara, and Armie Hammer.

Aaron Sorkin adapted his screenplay from Ben Mezrich's nonfiction novel The Accidental Billionaires (2009). No Facebook staff or employees, including founder Mark Zuckerberg, were involved with the project, although Eduardo Saverin was a consultant for Mezrich's story.[3] The film is distributed by Columbia Pictures and was released on October 1, 2010, in the United States to positive reviews.

Mark Zuckerberg, a student at Harvard University and Erica Albright, a student at Boston University, are having drinks at a Cambridge bar. During their conversation, Mark insults Erica more than once, and she breaks up with him. She predicts he will go on to great success, thinking women don't like him because he is a nerd, but in reality women will not like him because he is "an asshole". Back at his dorm room, he gets the idea to create a website to rate the attractiveness of female Harvard undergraduates, since Harvard lacked a unified database of student names and pictures. Mark hacks into the databases of various residence halls and downloads pictures and names. Using an algorithm supplied by his best friend Eduardo Saverin, Mark creates a page called "Face Mash", where people choose which of two women is more attractive. The site quickly becomes highly popular among male students and scandalous among female students. By the next morning, the "Face Mash" site has received thousands of hits an hour and crashes the Harvard web servers.

 Mark faced charges of violating personal privacy and disrupting campus security at Harvard. As a result, he is punished with six months of academic probation and becomes vilified among most of Harvard's female community. However, the popularity of "Face Mash" and the fact that he created it in one night, while drunk, brings him to the attention of Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, identical twins and members of Harvard's rowing team, and their business partner Divya Narendra. The three explain to Mark that they are looking for a programmer to help bring to life their idea for a new website ConnectU. Mark agrees to helping them. Soon afterwards, Mark approaches Eduardo, who has recently been invited to pledge the Phoenix S-K Final Club, with an idea for what he calls "The Facebook", an online social networking tool exclusive to invited Harvard University students, where people can display personal information.
