The Movie shows two stories that later become one, the one about Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, and the one about Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. They are all students in University, interested in computers, and the yet to be invented computer science. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were students in a university in California whereas Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer studied in Harvard Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created Apple in 1976, and Bill Gates created Microsoft some time later. Steve Jobs went to see a company named Xerox that had developed the mouse, but it had not had a lot of success, therefore Apple could take the idea of the mouse and use it for their first big hit in 1984, the Macintosh I. On the other hand, when Microsoft came to Apple pretending to help them they took the idea of the interface, which help the user to interact with the computer, it is like the desktop, so Microsoft took the idea and developed their operating system. They also stole prototypes of Mac computers to create their owns.

Then they (Microsoft) decided to go to IBM to show them their computer, and they were accepted, however they lied about having an operating system so they buy one from some guy and sell it to IBM with their name. Apple releases a personal computer (Apple Lisa, named after Steve Jobs daughter) and Microsoft gets one, when they saw it, they felt like Apple was way ahead of them, they decide to go to the Apple offices were they stole some prototypes, and at the same time become partners. Eventually Microsoft becomes the leader of the market by copying Apple's computer but they became the leaders because their operating system which they sold to any computer that wanted it, on the other hand Apple keeps its operating system with their own computers, so they do not share it because of anything.
