Hackers Wanted is an unreleased American documentary film. Directed and written by Sam Bozzo, the film explores the origins and nature of hackers and hacking by following the adventures of Adrian Lamo, and contrasting his story with that of controversial figures throughout history. The film is narrated by Kevin Spacey.
Originally named Can You Hack It?, the film failed to get a conventional release, according to Lamo, because of conflicts between its producer and others on the team.
The more commonly cited reason is a problem with the quality of the finished product. On May 20, 2010, a version of the film was leaked. Lamo has stated that he had no involvement in the leak.
It’s ironic that a film about overcoming barriers, about new technologies, about thinking differently, had to come to the public eye by being hacked out of the hands of people who, after making a film about the free flow of information, tried to lock away that information forever. The truth tends to itself. -Adrian Lamo.

Great! take a +1. I'm watching it right now and it's a bit like a video version of Phage's Tutorial on where to start with hacking

I've seen it before, and indeed, it is a good film. There aren't enough good hacker films, but this is one of them.

I will watch it later on +1 for showing me this movie.

Pak_Track: I'm totally going to make my own movie about it. Actually I might go and write some new content for it. I'm thinking about going through it and check for errors and such. And later on I'm thinking about making a small dictionary which will explain most of the terms we use.
