23 (1998)
Drama/Suspense/Thriller · 1h 39m · 1/14/1999
Description
Karl Koch sees the world around him in chaos. He searches for the underlying mechanisms of political systems and discovers things that lead him to believe in a global conspiracy. His talent for tapping into global data networks drives Karl into the arms of the KGB. The forces of evil already seem to be globally networked when Karl and his hacker friends are still despairing over the slowness of their home computers. The closer he seems to get to the end of his odyssey, the more impossible a return to a normal life becomes. Karl's mysterious death on May 23, 1989, was never solved.
