Film Lens
Hackers Wanted is an unreleased American documentary film directed and written by Sam Bozzo. It follows the story of Adrian Lamo, a hacker known for his controversial actions, and contrasts his narrative with other historical figures associated with hacking. The film is narrated by Kevin Spacey and aims to provide insight into the origins and nature of hacking.
Originally titled 'Can You Hack It?' in 2007, the film faced challenges in securing a conventional release due to conflicts among the production team and concerns about the quality of the final product. A version of the film was leaked to BitTorrent on May 20, 2010, followed by a director's cut on June 12, 2010, which included additional footage and differed significantly from the initial leak.
