The Trick

The Trick (2021) is a drama, thriller film directed by Pip Broughton rated 5.0/10.

The Trick tells the story of world-renowned Professor Philip Jones; Director of Climate Research at the University of East Anglia, who back in 2009 found himself at the eye of an international media storm and the victim of cyberterrorism.
