With new biopic 'Steve Jobs' in theatres soon, we look back at 1999's 'Pirates of Silicon Valley'. 'Pirates' focuses on the heated personal rivalry between Steve Jobs of Apple and Bill Gates of Microsoft, recounting the parallel and often intertwined stories of the two companies and their tempestuous founders. Written and directed by photojournalist and documentary-maker Martyn Burke, the TV movie was based on the book 'Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer' by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine.

Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs describes Gates as one of the few people resistant to Jobs' infamous 'reality distortion field', and while Jobs the mercurial visionary might dismiss his Harvard-educated rival Gates as having 'no taste', the film portrays the calculating Microsoft man playing Jobs like a fiddle. 'Success is a menace,' says Hall as Gates. 'It fools smart people into thinking they can't lose.'

The parallel stories of the two companies are narrated by their respective co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Ballmer, long-time friends of Jobs and Gates.
