In 2011, a San Francisco man created an underground drug-selling website that became so popular it was known as Amazon for drugs. The site was shut down by the FBI just two years later and its founder was sent to life in prison without parole. Now the story is the subject of a new film starring Jason Clark and Nick Robinson. The 25-year-old Robinson said he was very familiar with the story before getting the script because he remembers when the Silk Road first came out.
