Stretching from the spectacular red desert of Australia’s outback to the cool corridors of power in Canberra, The Code tells the story of two very different brothers who unearth information those at the highest levels of political power will kill to keep secret. Winner of this year’s Major Awgie Award and generating huge buzz locally and internationally, The Code is this year’s must-own ABC political thriller, available on DVD and Digital from November 6, 2014.

The Code’s all-star Australian cast is led by Dan Spielman (Offspring, The Secret Life of Us) and Ashley Zukerman (The Slap, Rush, Underbelly), with Aussie favourites Adam Garcia (Coyote Ugly, Bootmen), Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess, Spartacus) and David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, 300).

Ned (Dan Spielman) and Jesse Banks (Ashley Zukerman) – one, a young internet journalist, the other a troubled hacker – are gifted a poisoned chalice when a phone video of an outback accident arrives in their inbox. The decision to dig deeper drags the brothers into the darkest heart of politics, and the web of black marketeers and the international agencies who monitor and manipulate them. The question is just how far those in authority will go to keep their explosive secret safe. And how far the two brothers will go to reveal the truth.
