Named for the hacker magazine 2600, this documentary traces how the personal computer and the internet reshaped power, privacy, and identity over four decades. Interviews with hackers, security researchers, and technologists move from the phone-phreaking era and early bulletin boards through the rise of corporate computing and the surveillance infrastructure built after 9/11. Figures from the hacking scene describe breaking into systems as curiosity rather than crime, while security professionals and academics weigh what those same skills mean once networks run banks, elections, and infrastructure. The film treats hacker conferences and underground culture as a real historical thread rather than a punchline, tracking how yesterday's outlaw tinkerers became today's paid consultants and, in some cases, government targets. It raises the question of how much control individuals still have over their own data once corporations and states depend on the same networks hackers first pried open. The result is less a true-crime story than a history of an ongoing argument over who gets to know what, and who gets punished for finding out.
