Either way, this whole movie revolves around the moral grey zone of privacy and political ethics, very similar to what we saw with Edward Snowden and the NSA files.Īssange was a programmer, and his partner in crime Daniel Domscheit-Berg was also a programmer. The film is partly based on a book written by the co-founder of Wikileaks who seems to have had a falling out with Assange, so keep that in mind as you watch it. This is not a spoiler but if you pay close attention you’ll see the characters constantly drinking Club Mate (a terrible drink but typical Berlin), which I thought was a really funny easter egg. As you’ll see in the movie, it began with two programmers on laptops in Berlin and ends with the subsequent arrest of Assange, which I guess is still an ongoing thing. The Fifth Estate takes you back to the founding of Wikileaks, the now-infamous website that publishes news leaks and classified media provided by anonymous sources. The reviews on this one are mixed, but I enjoyed the film mostly because it’s still relevant and Julian Assange is still making headlines and pissing off politicians even from his prison cell. The Winklevoss twins are into crypto, Zuck is testifying before congress, and Sean Parker serves on the board of Spotify. The dialogue is great, the soundtrack is thrilling, and the coolest thing is that all these guys are still around today. And the story is made even better with a great ensemble of actors including Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, and Armie Hammer - Hammer plays the Vanwinkle twins and, fun fact likes to eat people. Whatever your feelings are towards the tech giant and its great track record of user privacy, I think you’ll appreciate this film since it’s not a glorification of Zuckerberg but really a story about friendship and betrayal. Directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin (who’s a legend), it tells the story of Facebook from the perspective of its founders, Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, and Sean Parker. But that has nothing to do with this film, which, is actually really, really good. The Social Network, more like the un-social network if you ask me… I can’t wait to live in a pod and eat bugs in the Metaverse. Related: 13 Best Tech Documentaries For Developers 1.

Without taking any more of your time, here are my top 10 picks for the best developer movies and series that I’ve seen. The criteria to meet this list was pretty straightforward, the movie (or series) had to feature a programmer as the protagonist (or antagonist), not a supporting character like those used to hack the mainframe (looking at you Mission Impossible). So, after putting in hours and hours of screentime watching all of these so-called ‘developer films’ from the last two decades, I’m pretty confident I’ve got a solid list of movies that will meet most of your expectations (I hope 🤞). Last year we put together a list of the best hacking movies, and obviously, the next logical step from there was to catalog the coolest movies and series about developers.
