"Hackers" wasn't accurate but it did bring about awareness for the need for computer security and strong passwords.
I think Hollywood should reboot it for the modern times.
- dragonbonheur 11y agoPlease, not with John Travolta and Hugh Jackman...
- orionblastar 11y agoUgh why them? The main characters in Hackers were teenagers who went out to explore cyberspace and see what was there and hack into it. They had a "Hack the Planet" message in that movie.
- crgt 11y agoIt's a reference to Swordfish.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfy5dFhw3ik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfy5dFhw3ik Because, you know, that's how hacking works...
- philsnow 11y agoHad nearly forgotten how much I hate that movie, and had definitely forgotten that Travolta has almost a Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg haircut.
- dragonbonheur 11y agoI know. I was just referring to how Swordfish was so much worse than Hackers, even with the latter's inaccuracies. It's time for a Jeri Ellsworth biopic anyway. With Flying biology books and car racing!!!
- enneff 11y agoI think that would be premature. She's still kicking ass. At least wait until she's past middle age.
- dragonbonheur 11y agoA movie that went from her childhood through her days in school to quitting school, racing, opening her store and becoming a hardware engineer up to her recent successful funding would be great. Plus we can always have a second movie for what she does later instead of yearly reboots like those Steve Jobs biopics. Pirates of Silicon Valley was completed before the release of the iPhone, right?
- xentronium 11y agoMr.Robot is mostly accurate when it comes to computer security details.
- jmtame 11y agoWithin the first few minutes they were talking about tor exit nodes. I knew very quickly I'd like the show.
