Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber
"Every surge has a price."
Overview
Based on the shocking true story, strap in for the meteoric rise and fall of Uber founder, Travis Kalanick. With a lift from venture capitalist Bill Gurley and board member Arianna Huffington, Kalanick takes a win-at-all-costs approach to forge the fledgling start-up into a multi-billion-dollar tech titan. But every surge comes at a price – and as his visionary drive spirals out of control, it threatens to be the downfall of it all.
Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber examines the mechanics of unchecked ambition within the tech industry. It trades the typical polished success story for a frantic, win-at-all-costs philosophy. Based on a book, the narrative anchors itself in the high-stakes friction between founders, venture capitalists, and the boardrooms that ultimately determine a company’s survival.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt portrays the volatile momentum behind the rise of a Silicon Valley giant. The show leans into the personal erosion that accompanies rapid scaling, showing how a drive for industry dominance often accelerates a founder’s undoing. It is a portrait of how modern corporate culture prioritizes aggressive growth over stability, leaving the architect of the system to manage its sudden, turbulent collapse.
