The Social Reckoning opens with a 48-hour legal warning to the premiere theater and a director who says Maybe we can’t handle the truth. That warning is the frame for Aaron Sorkin’s latest work on platform power. The film centers on Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, and the moral reckoning of social media power. It is not a biography. It is a dramatized audit of how a network built for connection became an instrument of influence.
