SILICON VALLEY tells the story of the pioneering scientists who transformed rural Santa Clara County
into the hub of technological ingenuity we now know as Silicon Valley.
The film spotlights the creativity of the young men who founded Fairchild Semiconductor
and in particular the brilliant, charismatic young physicist Robert Noyce.
Their radical innovations would include the integrated circuit that helped make the States a leader
in both space exploration and the personal computer revolution,
transforming the way the world works, plays and communicates, making possible
everything from the Apollo program to smart phones, from pacemakers to microwaves.
