Produced by Semperis Studios and filmed across North America and Europe, the documentary draws on more than 50 interviews and over 100 hours of conversations with CISOs, former hackers, journalists, and national security leaders. Featured contributors include Chris Inglis, the first U.S. National Cyber Director; General (Ret.) David Petraeus, former CIA Director; Jen Easterly, former Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director; Marcus Hutchins, the WannaCry hero; and Tim Brown, former CISO of SolarWinds.

"We made this film because the people who defend the world's critical systems have never had their story told on their own terms," says Thomas LeDuc, Chief Marketing Officer at Semperis and Executive Producer and Co-Director of the film. "Watching it land with a room full of defenders was the whole point. What we heard at the world premiere tells us this conversation is only beginning."

Semperis is the first cybersecurity company to produce a full-length feature film on cyber war, spotlighting the defenders who safeguard the infrastructure society depends on: water and power systems, food supply chains, healthcare networks, and financial institutions targeted by nation states and ransomware gangs.
