At a time when hackers--and the governments that conspire with them--have the ability to shut off power grids, open dams, and cripple major corporations with shocking ease, this riveting documentary focuses on the ongoing threat. Based on a best-selling book by New York Times national security correspondent David E. Sanger and directed by Emmy(R)-winning filmmaker John Maggio (HBO's Panic: The Untold Story of the 2008 Financial Crisis), the film explores the rise of cyber conflict as the primary way nations now compete with and sabotage one another. The result is a never-before-seen look inside the secret world of spies, hackers, and scammers in the lead-up to the 2020 U.S. elections as well as a timely reflection on the ultimate price--and potential "victors"--of this high-stakes conflict.
