This is the true story of the three young men who created COMPAQ computers as an idea formed in a little restaurant to give computer giant IBM a run for their money. SILICON COWBOYS explores the remarkable story of Compaq’s rise and eventual demise - an unlikely upstart who altered the future of computing and helped shape the world as we know it today. Directed by Academy Award®-nominated director Jason Cohen, the film offers an insider's look into the explosive rise of the 1980's PC industry and is a refreshing alternative to the familiar narratives of Jobs, Gates, and Zuckerberg.
