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 a story of a great friendship, loyalty and the question of justice in the digital age.
The Netflix series was produced by the Kundschafter Filmproduktion and Sunny Side Up Films.
