In 2012, an Apple I computer sold at an auction for $671,000 (21.6 million baht).
The new biopic Jobs, directed by Joshua Michael Stern, covers almost 30 years of the life of Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs.
The film explores the period starting with Jobs (Ashton Kutcher) at university in 1974 until hit introduction of the iPod in 2001. In between are life-changing experiences like a trip to India in the mid-70s, and the development of the successful Apple 1 and Apple II personal computers.
Jobs looks at the often inspiring life of the famous entrepreneur and inventor as seen through the eyes of his friends and colleagues like Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad) and Mike Markkula (Dermot Mulroney). The result is an intense, uncompromising and dialogue-driven portrait of a complex character.
Catch the drama and inspiration when the rousing Jobs opens on September 12.
