Summary

John McAfee made hundreds of millions of dollars on his ubiquitous anti-virus software and retired to Belize. But after his neighbor was murdered in 2012, McAfee went on the run. Rather than keep a low profile, he let a camera crew film his every move. McAfee uses his unscrupulous methods and considerable wealth to escape his predicament in Central America. But when he gets into trouble in the US, a paranoid, drug-addled, and heavily armed McAfee invites cameras on his luxury yacht as he takes to the sea to avoid capture. The Netflix documentary “Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee” brings us inside the businessman’s never-ending flight from justice, through jungles, foreign court systems, and the high seas. It documents his downward spiral while on the lam - and asks questions about his controversial death.
