518    Originally produced by National Film and Sound Archive of 
       Australia in 2003. 
520    In the late 1980s, Melbourne was the hub of the computer 
       underground in Australia, if not the world. The hackers 
       who formed the underground were not disgruntled computer 
       professionals or gangs of organised criminals. They were 
       disaffected teenagers who used their basic home computers 
       to explore the embryonic internet from inside their locked,
       suburban bedrooms. From this shadowy world emerged two 
       elite hackers known as Electron and Phoenix, who formed 
       part of an alliance called The Realm. Together, Electron 
       and Phoenix stole a restricted computer security list and 
       used it to break into some of the world's most classified 
       and supposedly secure computer systems. So fast and 
       widespread was the attack, people assumed it was an 
       automated program, until Phoenix called The New York Times
       to brag. Soon the US Secret Service and the FBI were on 
       their trail and, within months, the Australian Federal 
       Police had raided their homes. Using a combination of 
       interviews and dramatic reconstructions, In The Realm of 
       the Hackers charts Electron's journey from his initial 
       innocent explorations to his ultimate obsession. It 
       vividly recreates the climate of the 1980s, before there 
       was public access to the internet. In The Realm of the 
       Hackers takes us headlong into the clandestine, risky but 
       intoxicating world of the computer underground to uncover 
       not only how the hackers did it but why.
