What happens

Antitrust (also titled Conspiracy.com and Startup) is a 2001 American techno-thriller film directed by Peter Howitt and written by Howard Franklin. The film stars Ryan Phillippe, Rachael Leigh Cook, Claire Forlani and Tim Robbins. It portrays young idealistic programmers and a large corporation (NURV) that offers a significant salary, an informal working environment, and creative opportunities for those talented individuals willing to work for them. The charismatic CEO of NURV seems to be good-natured, but new employee Milo Hoffman begins to unravel the terrible hidden truth of NURV's operation. Antitrust opened in the United States on January 12, 2001, to generally negative reviews from critics, and was a box office failure, grossing $18 million against a budget of $30 million.
