ELI5 how a computer can read 5.6 billion ones and zeros and turn it into The Big Lebowski or Reservoir Dogs? 

A typical downloaded movie is about 700Mb. That's 5.6 billion bits. How does a computer interpret a massive sequence of ...01011001110... and play it back as an entire movie with colours and sounds and frames and everything? I don't understand how data can be turned into media.

Divide each frame of the movie into a grid.

Say 640x480

Now assign a number to each color that the computer can display... let's say there a 16 million colors with black being 0 and white being 16 million. In each box of the grid number the color. Now you've got every frame of the movie as a number.


Now for the sound. Sound is made by the speaker going in and out. Let's measure that distance and give it a number. Say 65536 for out as far as possible and 0 for all the way in. Let's do that measure like 48000 times a second. Now if we make the speaker go in and out based on the number we have... sound.
