Unabomber: The True Story is a gripping crime drama that follows the real-life story of the Unabomber, a domestic terrorist who carried out a string of bombings targeting universities and airlines. Fueled by his extreme environmental beliefs and neo-Luddite ideology, the Unabomber sent mail bombs from his secluded cabin, instilling fear and panic in the nation. Based on true events, this intense thriller explores the motives and madness behind one of America's most notorious criminals.

More of a film essay - of the type pioneered by Orson Welles and Chris Marker - than a standard documentary, German filmmaker Lutz Dammbeck's The Net: The Unabomber, the LSD and the Internet begins with the typical format and structure of a nonfiction film, and a single subject (the life and times of mail bomber Ted Kaczynski). From that thematic springboard, Dammbeck branches out omnidirectionally, segueing into a series of thematic riffs and variants on such marginally-related subjects as: the history of cyberspace, terrorism, utopian ideals, LSD, the Central Intelligence Agency, and Cuckoo's Nest author Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters.
