The program examines Jobs’ groundbreaking impact on every product, company, and industry that he touched and captures the true essence of Steve’s tireless drive and passion.

Industry influencers tell the tale of Jobs first resignation from Apple, a company he created, and his transition to Pixar, (where his work there forever changed the film industry), and back then to Apple. The special looks closely at his legend as a fearless leader, his marriage to Laurene Powell, the foundation he built for Apple, and the massive influence he had on a variety of industries that continues to be felt in the years after his passing.

  1. I’ll be passing on this and Ashton Kutcher. Just saying. I saw a few preview clips and it looks rather bad. They make the Woz out to be a fool. That’s not nice. Or accurate. The Aaron Sorkin movie may be interesting? At least the Social Network movie was good if not necessarily accurate.
