The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest

The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest (2002) is an American comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Andy is a sharp marketing exec who quits a comfortable job and lands at a tech research lab, where he promptly gets handed the assignment nobody else will touch: build a working PC for $99.

His team consists of three programmers who are brilliant in the lab and barely functional everywhere else. Adam Garcia plays Andy; Rosario Dawson and Jake Busey fill out the cast. Directed by Mick Jackson from Po Bronson's novel, the film is a send-up of Silicon Valley hustle culture that works because it understands how the Valley thinks — that a bold idea beats a business plan every time, until it doesn't.
