The documentary's core argument is that big data and targeted data have been used successfully to influence enough “persuadable” voters to influence the outcome of key elections such as the Brexit referendum and the 2016 US presidential race, and the film pushes this theme by picking just the right facts to make a case. This review will attempt to put The Great Hack in its historical, political, and technical context, and will try to answer the question: How dangerous was Cambridge Analytica? The documentary claims the technology is to some considerable degree dangerous, although perhaps less dangerous than those involved with Cambridge Analytica like to think. The film is certainly worth viewing, as long as the viewer remembers that it is good journalism, but not a scholarly analysis.

纪录片的核心论点是成功地利用大数据和有针对性的数据影响了足够多的“有说服力”的选民，从而影响了英国脱欧公投和2016年美国总统大选等关键选举的结果，而影片通过选择公正的选票来推动这一主题。提起诉讼的正确事实。本评论将尝试将 The Great Hack 置于其历史、政治和技术背景中，并尝试回答以下问题：Cambridge Analytica 有多危险？该纪录片声称该技术在某种程度上具有相当大的危险性，尽管其危险性可能不如剑桥分析公司所认为的那样危险。这部电影当然值得一看，只要观众记得它是好的新闻，而不是学术分析。
