Watch Steve Jobs as FDR in this bizarre Apple WWII epic from 1984

Everyone is familiar with Apple’s famous “1984” ad, but you’ve probably never seen this video, filmed in 1984, that stars Steve Jobs as FDR in an Apple World War II epic. The film was made just for internal use, for an employee event in Hawaii.

In the eight minute movie, the forces from Apple Corps Macintosh Division Fighting 32nd are battling the Big Blue Monoblob, a clear reference to Apple’s chief rival at the time, IBM. Listen carefully, and you’ll find that the movie is jammed with references to Apple’s allies and enemies, including General (Mitch) Kapor and General (Bill) Gates. There’s even a cameo from the hammer wielding 1984 runners, and fat joke that pokes fun at Steve Wozniak’s name.
