Antitrust is a suspense thriller set in the high-speed computer industry where a handful of bright, driven young men and women have the means to make or break the technology that will dominate the global economy. The movie takes the conventions of the conspiracy film and adds a candy-coloured millennial sheen.

Stanford grad Milo Hoffman (Ryan Phillippe) has the stuff it takes to make it to the top of the computer world. He's a master of the digital domain who's about to do what every young computer genius wants most: launch a hi tech start-up developing digital convergence technologies, or the linking of all forms of digital communication devices like telephones, televisions and computers from one source. Milo wants to be a part of history, to build the technology that will change how people live in the future.

But just as Milo is headed for a breakthrough, he gets an offer he can't refuse. It comes from the renowned Gary Winston (Tim Robbins), head of the multi-billion dollar software corporation NURV (which stands for "Never Underestimate Radical Vision"), and Milo's professional role model. Winston wants to recruit Milo for his top-echelon digital convergence team, and despite having to leave behind his anti-corporate best friend and business partner, Teddy, Milo believes this is an opportunity he can't miss.

Arriving in Portland to a NURV-provided house and car, with his girlfriend (Claire Forlani) in tow, Milo finds himself working on Winston's master plan - software that will link the world's communications devices together. Winston is an inspired mentor and no problem remains unsolved for long, but new developments are brought to Milo with such speed and frequency, he begins to doubt their source. It's not long before Milo begins to uncover disturbing evidence of Winston's unethical - and brutal - business tactics.

When Winston's web of violence touches Milo's world, he joins forces with fellow NURV programmer, Lisa (Rachael Leigh Cook), and sets out to tell the world of Winston's reprehensible practices. The more Milo learns, the more he himself becomes a target. Now it is Milo whose survival is at stake, unless he can outwit the very heart of NURV, a corporate giant whose power, greed and paranoia know no bounds.
