Scene 20 of 189 · ≈ 1 min on screen · Act one
Mark Zuckerberg wants status and belonging Harvard's final clubs won't give him, so he builds a website that gives the world both — and loses his best friend and co-founder to the company he built to prove he mattered.
Mark at the campus bar: brilliant, status-obsessed, unable to read the room he's sitting in.
Eduardo learns Mark and Erica split up from his blog and gets recruited on the spot to hand over his chess-ranking algorithm for rating female students.
Eduardo chalks out the Elo-style ranking equation on Mark's window while Mark presses him to formalize it into code.
Two girls who were let into the club dance on a table in their underwear.
