The 1990 NOVA documentary follows astronomer Clifford Stoll as he tracks a hacker through military and research computer networks, a story that involved the CIA and KGB. It is based on The Cuckoo's Egg.
HN lists it among favorite nerdy documentaries and enjoys hearing Stoll tell the story himself.

Oh, yes, that is the documentary I watched. It was really great, getting to hear it from Mr. Stoll's mouth directly. He was much less enthusiastic than he tends to be in Numberphile videos, I imagine that might be down to the director of the film. It is available on YouTube if anyone cares to give it a watch! ▶ this video
"The book was chronicled in an episode of WGBH’s NOVA entitled “The KGB, the Computer, and Me”, which aired on PBS stations on October 3, 1990" I think it's this one: ▶ this video Oh,me I'm ROFL: an actor is identical to one of X-Files "Lone Gunmen". When he explains the beeper to his wife I needed the oxygen. It's like "Doctor Who vs hackers" :-)
Some of my favourite nerdy documentaries: BBS: The Documentary link The KGB, the Computer, and Me ▶ this video 8 Bit Generation: The Commodore Wars link
cliff stoll made an ... interesting movie of this book. its fun to watch and would probably make a good drinking game. : ▶ this video
