Journey into the dark web with Silk Road, the shocking real-life crime story of
the drug kingpin behind the world’s first online black market.
Inspired by larger-than-life events, this riveting crime thriller follows the rise and fall of
‘Silk Road’ – the infamous darknet site that sent a seismic shock through the World
Wide Web. Young, idealistic, and driven to succeed, Ross Ulbricht (Nick Robinson,
Love, Simon) creates the internet’s first unregulated marketplace: Silk Road.
But when it becomes a multimillion-dollar pipeline for illicit drugs, Ross is set on a collision
course with Rick Bowden (Jason Clarke, The Devil All the Time, Zero Dark Thirty), a
disreputable and dangerously unpredictable DEA agent, who will use any means
necessary to take him down.
