The Man the FBI Can't Catch

The Hacker Who Beat the FBI at Their Own Game is a true crime documentary about Kevin Mitnick — the most wanted hacker in America during the 1990s.

In November 1992, Mitnick vanished just hours before the FBI arrived to arrest him. What followed was a two-and-a-half-year manhunt across the United States, where Mitnick stayed one step ahead of federal agents by using social engineering, cloned cell phones, fake identities, and deep knowledge of telecommunications systems.

This documentary shows how Mitnick didn’t just hack computers — he hacked people. By manipulating phone companies, corporations, and even law enforcement infrastructure, he listened to FBI agents discussing how to catch him… in real time.

The chase escalated after Mitnick targeted one of the world’s top computer security experts, Tsutomu Shimomura, triggering a personal hunt that would ultimately lead to Mitnick’s capture in Raleigh, North Carolina.
This is the full story of how a hacker outplayed the FBI, how the net slowly closed, and how one final mistake ended the most famous cyber manhunt of the 1990s.
