About this movie

Ratings and reviews

The Hacker Wars is fast paced and spot on when it comes to filmmaking and how to tell a story. This is a thriller masquerading as a documentary. But wait this incredible story is actually the world we live in. Welcome to the Orwellian present. These anti-heroes are really fascinating and their enemy is the US Surveillance State. Oh Big Brother. This is one hell of a ride if I say so myself!

I knew about about the information in the documentary but didn't know the details that they explain. And wow to the trapwire. That's scary. They tested it out to see if it was real too. Wow. I recommend every see this, to realize how important the internet and freedom is to us.

I'm not going to be the one who ruins a great movie's perfect rating. This movie really show the front lines of what is happening with the black hats (malevolent hackers), and the white hats (good hackers) as well.
