The film accurately depicts the fact that even if you come up with a genius idea, and implement it, the Big Boys can often catch up and surpass you or just buy you out. I thought the film nailed the nerd culture of engineers. And how a corporate structure can change and corrupt a person. Like you said there were probably some embellishments. Solid film for sure.
