A true hacker story that never happened.
Directed by Alan Ritchson
Produced by Lionsgate
A playful, fast-paced thriller about amateur sleuths chasing an internet mystery across real-world locations while evading authorities, balancing puzzle-solving intrigue with comedic irreverence.
Genius hacker Connor discovers Cicada 3301, an online treasure hunt that could be a recruiting tool for a secret society. Soon Conner, art-expert friend Avi, and secretive librarian Gwen are dashing from graffiti sites to ancient libraries to uncover real-world clues. But they must outrun aggressive NSA agents, also hot on the trail of Cicada, who want the glory for themselves.
