The Prisoner's Dilemma (2021)

 

Synopsis:

 After a heist goes downhill, a computer hacker is offered a choice: to snitch or to stay silent. The age-old game, the prisoner's dilemma, a frequent study in statistical mathematics, throws into doubt morality, honesty and trust between "A" and his partner, "B". With pros and cons to go with each decision, will the two partners unknowingly help each other? Or will they throw it all away in a fit of selfishness?
