This documentary celebrates the life of John Candy, a comedy legend whose warmth and humor defined a generation and who died of a heart attack in 1994 at the age of 43. Through rare footage and honest interviews with family, friends, and fellow stars, it reveals the man behind the laughter — talented, humble, and deeply human. From his early days in television to his rise as one of Hollywood’s most beloved comedic actors, his story shows how joy and vulnerability shaped a career that continues to inspire. With reflections from Bill Murray, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Dan Aykroyd, the film captures Candy’s lasting legacy as both a comic genius and a kind soul whose influence still endures decades after his passing.
Through interviews with victims, cybersecurity experts, and a former FBI agent, this gripping miniseries dives into the dark frontier of online crime, where a teenage Finnish prodigy transforms into one of the most notorious hackers of his generation. The series exposes the hidden alliances, moral gray zones, and devastating consequences of a digital war waged in silence — where lines blur between rebellion, genius, and destruction. It’s a portrait of a hyper-connected world where a single keyboard can shake governments and ruin lives. In the first two episodes, the hunt starts and intensifies: the FBI infiltrates DEF CON in Las Vegas in search of the elusive figure known as Zeekill. What follows is a chain of chaos as Kivimäki launches false emergency calls that mobilize armed units, turning quiet suburbs in Connecticut into war zones and drawing one FBI agent into a personal nightmare that reveals just how fragile digital order really is.
