Every surge has a price.
Synopsis
Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber (2022), Season 1 is a Silicon Valley drama you can watch online on iFILM — seven episodes tracing Travis Kalanick from scrappy founder to billion-dollar disruptor.
Adapted from Mike Isaac's book, the season starts with UberCab still fighting for its life. Kalanick, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, courts venture money from Bill Gurley, picks fights with taxi commissions, outmaneuvers regulators with risky engineering tricks, and goes to war with Lyft. Then the climb curdles. A toxic workplace, a "Delete Uber" backlash, and a boardroom revolt all close in. By the last episode, the win-at-all-costs instinct that built the company turns on the man who ran it.
This is a Showtime production narrated by Quentin Tarantino, with Kyle Chandler and Uma Thurman in the mix. It plays less like a tech biopic and more like a study of ambition with no brakes. If you liked The Social Network or HBO's Silicon Valley, this fits. Stream Super Pumped Season 1 online on iFILM.
