Sorkin prominent film "The Social Network" directed the creation of Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg. Now, Zuckerberg's empire has about 3 billion users, with estimated net worth around $250 billion. Sorkin returns to the Zuckerberg theme with his new movie "The Social Reckoning" now as both writer and director.
This time the focus isn't on beginnings, friendships or even Zuckerberg, but about how social-media platforms like Facebook have rewired our brains, endangering both bodies and the American body politic. A fictional Mark (an eerie Jeremy Strong) still looms, but largely as an avatar. The characters pumping blood into this sequel are Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), a real Facebook employee turned whistle-blower, and Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White), The Wall Street Journal reporter whose 2021 investigative series brought to light Haugen's revelations that the company chose "profit over safety" and was aware of the harms it was causing.
