In the shadowy corners of the internet, a brilliant but aimless coder, played by Jack Kesy, stumbles upon Cicada 3301, the world's most infamous and unsolved cryptographic puzzle. What begins as an intellectual curiosity quickly spirals into a high-stakes race for survival when he deciphers a clue that thrusts him into a dangerous conspiracy. Teaming up with a paranoid hacker (Ron Funches) and a mysterious, resourceful ally (Conor Leslie), he must navigate a treacherous landscape where every digital footprint can be traced and no one is who they seem. Directed by Alan Ritchson, who also stars as a formidable operative, this propulsive thriller blends tense action with sharp wit as the group is pursued by ruthless factions who will stop at nothing to control the puzzle's ultimate secret. As they delve deeper into the digital rabbit hole, the line between the virtual and the violently real disappears, forcing them to outsmart enemies they cannot see in a game where the prize is beyond comprehension and the penalty for failure is death.
