The Circle (2014): Ratings, Box Office & Plot

Mae Holland enters The Circle as a hopeful, under-the-radar call center intern, pursuing a steady job through a friend named Annie to help support her parents, especially her father who battles multiple sclerosis. The Circle is more than a tech company; it’s a cultural force that blends social networking with inescapable transparency, and Mae quickly finds herself drawn into its orbit. Early on, she encounters Ty Lafitte, a charismatic yet wary innovator who hints that there are deeper currents at work beneath the company’s gleaming surface. As Mae settles in, she witnesses the company’s bold push toward real-time, everywhere video through SeeChange cameras, devices small enough to be placed anywhere to stream constant surveillance.
