It’s the stuff of legend: a sophomore at Harvard working out of his dorm room creates an Internet sensation that makes him the youngest billionaire in history. And as with any legend, there are many different ways the story can be told.

This fall, a new film called “The Social Network” will depict how Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook and the battles — both legal and personal — that sprang out of the site’s unprecedented success. In the just-released trailer, it shows Zuckerberg as an outsider, looking to break into Harvard’s elite inner circle. When he launches his site, it’s an instant success, but Zuckerberg is accused of stealing the idea from fellow classmates. Zuckerberg gets a taste of how big his creation could become when Napster co-founder Sean Parker tells him, “A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A billion dollars.” But while his enterprise is challenged from the outside, it’s the growing divide between Zuckerberg and his closest friend that threatens to ruin it all.

To preview the movie, watch the exclusive first trailer for “The Social Network” below. Then keep reading to learn more about the movie and what Zuckerberg has said about his on-screen depiction. Viewer discretion advised: Trailer contains some adult situations and obscene gestures.
