Steve Jobs, one of the most influential and admired corporate leaders of modern times has had his story told numerous times since it's surprising death on October 5th, 2011. Walter Isaacson wrote the authorized biography that was optioned for a film days after Steve Jobs passing (and the book release only weeks after that). Passing between movie studios, the film finally released in 2015 to mediocre ticket sales but strong critical praise.

BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS, because it's only NOW that the Literate Cinephiles weigh in!
