On November 22, 1987, Chicago TV viewers witnessed a bizarre, unprecedented event: a grotesque, masked figure, mimicking pop culture icon Max Headroom, hijacked two local stations.

Yet, despite extensive efforts, the identity and motives of the Max Headroom pirate remain an unsolved mystery, a chilling reminder of the airwaves' vulnerability and a lasting pop culture enigma.
