THE CODE

THE CODE
By Francesca Varisco

GENRE: Action, Mystery
LOGLINE: When an ambitious journalist and three IT analysts dig into a strange computer malware, they stumble upon Stuxnet and accidentally uncover a cyberwar operation targeting Iranian nuclear enrichment program. Based on a true story. 2019 Nicholl Semifinalist.

SYNOPSIS:

Mossad and CIA, in an intelligence effort to prevent Iran from its making-of the atomic weapon, successfully manage to infect the computers of the power plant where uranium is enriched with a treacherous virus. A young cyber-security expert will accidentally find out the bug, but the small IT company he works for can't do much about it. It is now the job of other experts to reverse-engineer the extremely well manufactured virus and explain it to the astonished public opinion, among the mounting curiosity of the press. Meanwhile, Iran officially admits their facilities have reported issues: uranium enrichment has slowed down. The plan worked. But now the virus' code is public - and available for cyber terrorists to use against any other target. (based on true facts)
