The Hackers from Down Under ()

AKA:
In the Realm of the Hackers

Synopsis:
Those who were part of the computer underground in the early to mid-'80s will feel nostalgic pangs as they watch 'The Hackers from Down Under', a documentary that chronicles the rise and fall of Australia's most notorious hackers.

It tells the story of two Melbourne Generation-X hackers - Electron and Phoenix - who, as part of hacker crew "The Realm", were responsible in the '80s and '90s for attacking many high-profile computer systems here and in the United States. Their exploits were responsible for the US Government putting pressure on the Hawke government to enact Australia's first federal cyber-crime legislation in 1989.
