"It's 1996, and Mike Lazaridis and his business partner and best friend Douglas Fregin are on the edge of creating the world's first smartphone. Unfortunately for them, they are less business savvy than they are tech, and struggle to keep their company, Research in Motion, afloat. Everything changes when cunning businessman Jim Balsillie agrees to join the company, bringing with him the money and experience needed to create and sell a prototype of their invention. BlackBerry tells the story of Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, the two men that charted the course of the spectacular rise and catastrophic demise of the world's first smartphone." --container.
