Netflix has dropped the trailer for their upcoming mini-series The Billion Dollar Code. The series lands next week and is starts in Berlin in the 90s where two friends, Carsten and Juri, create Terra Vision, something that seemed impossible at the time: the precursor to Google Earth. 25 years later, the German computer nerds are facing the global corporation in court.
Based on true events, this mini-series tells the incredible story of two German computer pioneers who go to court for their rights as inventors of the Google Earth algorithm in a battle against a seemingly invincible opponent. From the hacker scene in post-reunification Berlin in the 1990s to the idealistic world of early Silicon Valley and the harsh reality of a multi-million dollar lawsuit, The Billion Dollar Code tells of a great friendship, loyalty and the question of justice in the digital age.
The Billion Dollar Code hits on 7th October. Here’s the trailer.
