Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee

Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee (2022) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Charlie Russell. It is built almost entirely from raw footage and candid interviews with McAfee himself — the man who lent his name to one of the first household antivirus programs before turning into a fugitive from the law.

A fortune made in software bought him a life with no brakes. The film tracks his years on the run through the jungles of Belize, the hired guards, the guns, the constant relocations and the paranoid late-night rants. Along the way come the presidential bid, the crypto hustles and the eccentric stunts. How it ends is no secret: McAfee was found dead in a Spanish prison cell in 2021.

This is no polished biopic. McAfee narrates his own myth straight to camera, daring you to work out where the truth stops and the performance begins. A compelling watch for anyone drawn to charming con men and the slow unravelling of an outsized life. Stream Running with the Devil (2022) online on iFILM.
