Antitrust (also titled Conspiracy.com and Startup ) is a 2001 drama/thriller sci-fi film written by Howard Franklin and directed by Peter Howitt.

Antitrust portrays young idealistic programmers and a large corporation (NURV) that offers significant money, a low-keyed working environment, and creative opportunities for those talented programmers willing to work for them. The charismatic CEO of NURV (Robbins) seems to be good natured, but recent employee and protagonist Milo Hoffman (Phillippe) begins to unravel the terrible hidden truth of NURV's operation.

Starring Ryan Phillippe, Tim Robbins, Rachael Leigh Cook, and Claire Forlani, Antitrust opened in the United States on January 12, 2001, and despite hope for the film and its pro-open-source message, it was generally panned by reviewers and critics.

This movie is the fictional story of computer programming genius Milo Hoffman after graduating from Stanford and getting out into the competitive world of computer software.

Winston is the CEO of a company called NURV, and they are on the brink of completing the global communication's system, Synapse. They need Hoffman to help them meet their launch date, so after much thought and with the full support of his girlfriend Alice, he accepts the job. Tragedy soon after strikes and Milo becomes suspicious of the company he has been wrapped up in. He learns that trusting anyone could be a mistake, and that nothing is as it seems.
