==Plot==
The film is divided into three acts set in the lead-up to key product launches hosted by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs (Fassbender). The first depicts Jobs and marketing executive Joanna Hoffman (Winslet) dealing with problems before the Apple Macintosh launch in 1984. The computer's voice demo will not say "hello", and Jobs demands engineer Andy Hertzfeld (Stuhlbarg) fixes it, threatening to publicly humiliate him in the presentation. Hertzfeld finally suggests faking the demo using the prototype Macintosh 512K computer. Meanwhile, Jobs rants about a ''Time'' magazine article that exposed his paternity dispute with ex-girlfriend Chrisann Brennan (Waterston): Jobs denies he is the father of Brennan's five-year-old daughter, Lisa. Brennan arrives with Lisa to confront Jobs; she is bitter over his denials and his refusal to support her despite his wealth. Jobs bonds with Lisa over her MacPaint art and agrees to provide more money and a house, but still denies his fatherhood. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (Rogen) wishes Jobs well and asks him to recognize the Apple II team in his remarks, but Jobs refuses to acknowledge the aging computer. Flashbacks show the two creating the Apple II, revealing that Wozniak's ideas made the product successful. Jobs then discusses company politics with CEO John Sculley (Daniels); they talk about Jobs' life as an adopted child, and Jobs admits that his need for control stems from his feelings of powerlessness in being given up.
A montage shows that the Macintosh failed to meet expectations and the struggling company ousted Jobs, who founded NeXT. The film's second act portrays Jobs preparing for the NeXT Computer launch at Davies Symphony Hall in 1988. He spends time with 9-year-old Lisa, who he now acknowledges. Lisa's life with Brennan is difficult, and Jobs accuses Brennan of behaving erratically and using Lisa to get money from him. Wozniak arrives to support Jobs in what he predicts will be another disastrous launch. Jobs confronts Wozniak over quotes in which he criticized Jobs' difficult attitude, and Wozniak admits his frustration with Jobs' self-aggrandizement, questioning his contributions. Jobs likens his role to a conductor, who directs "musicians" like Wozniak. Hertzfeld shows Jobs a parody press release about Apple buying NeXT for its operating system and naming Jobs CEO. Sculley appears, challenging the developing narrative that he fired Jobs. Flashbacks reveal that when Sculley moved to phase out the Macintosh, he warned Jobs that the board would likely terminate him if he pressed the matter, but Jobs went to the board anyway, forcing the vote that ousted him. Meanwhile, Hoffman and Jobs discuss NeXT's unclear direction; Hoffman realizes that Jobs has indeed designed the computer to entice Apple to buy the company.
Another montage shows that Apple continued to decline; the company fired Sculley, purchased NeXT, and named Jobs CEO. The third act portrays Jobs preparing to premier the iMac in 1998, the computer that restored the company. Jobs is having a spat with teenaged Lisa, who has allowed Brennan to sell the house Jobs bought for them. Hoffman reminds Jobs that he threatened to withhold Lisa's college tuition; he claims he did not mean it. Hertzfeld reveals that he paid Lisa's tuition and suggested she attend therapy, stunning Jobs. Wozniak once again asks that Jobs credit the Apple II team at the launch, but Jobs still refuses. Sculley then arrives in secret and the two make amends. An exasperated Hoffman insists that Jobs fixes things with Lisa. Jobs apologizes to Lisa for his past mistakes, admitting that he is "poorly made". The film ends with Lisa watching her father take the stage to introduce the iMac.
