EDITOR BRIEF
A new wave of 2026 films is portraying major tech founders less as visionaries and more as destabilizing forces. Projects about Mark Zuckerberg, Elizabeth Holmes, and Elon Musk suggest Hollywood is leaning into a broader tech backlash after years of founder-celebrity narratives.
INSIGHTS
The trend signals a cultural shift from fascination with disruption to scrutiny of its social costs. As public trust in tech leaders erodes, film and TV are becoming key arenas for reframing Silicon Valley’s legacy around accountability rather than innovation mythology.
