About This Film
Film Overview
Blurring the lines between reality and the virtual world, WHO AM I – NO SYSTEM IS SAFE is a brilliantly complicated thriller that’s part “Fight Club,” part “Hackers.” Benjamin is a loner who can’t seem to find love, friends, or success in the real world. In the dark corners of the internet, though, it’s a different story. A self-taught hacker, he’s put his skills to work, pulling off relatively timid but impressive security breaches. His inspiration comes from MRX, a mysterious hacker who’s become a celebrity in the underground. After meeting an eager code cracker named Max, Benjamin’s social anxiety begins to fade. The friendship is a self-esteem boost that also opens the door to the formation of a new hacker crew named CLAY. The group engages in a number of high risk stunts in hopes of grabbing the attention of MRX. Meanwhile, the government's been cracking down on cyber crimes following a slew of recent attacks in which other hackers are unmasked and found dead under mysterious circumstances. CLAY decides to go big with a risky new plan, and they soon find themselves in dangerous territory. (In German with subtitles) – E.F.
