DEFCON is the world's largest hacking conference, held in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2012 it was held for the 20th time. The conference has strict no-filming policies, but for DEFCON 20, a documentary crew was allowed full access to the event. The film follows the four days of the conference, the events and people (attendees and staff), and covers history and philosophy behind DEFCON's success and unique experience. (imdb)

There's a lot to cover in documenting this hacker metaconference, but after a while, the stories all start to sound a lot alike: "well, you had to be there." The narrative should have highlighted the "let's break this to see how it works" ethos; instead we hear about a lot of questionably-legal events, often while inebriated. If you're already familiar with the culture, it might be worth a watch; if not, you're likely never going to want to associate with any of these characters.

Most of the film was not interesting, just some of the history and stories to go along with it. The rest of the film was a slow crawl.
