On April 3, 1990, Nova (probably my favourite documentary series) aired an episode called The KGB, the Computer, and Me, which documents (even dramatizes) the strange, interesting, and funny events of Cliff Stoll, where a seventy-five cent billing discrepancy (for CPU time on his server) leads him to a German hacker ring working for the KGB.
These events were chronicled in his non-fiction book The Cuckoo's Egg, written by Cliff Stoll himself. He's a decent writer and kept detailed logs during the whole affair so it's a good read.
I've seen too many wonderful documentaries to pick a favourite but this is right up there!
