Here is a nice review of this movie, showing its symmetry / palindromic feature (there is a turning point right in the middle off it, and the movie plot kinda reverses itself till the end) : https://dejareviewer.com/2015/08/12/shall-we-play-a-game-lets-see-how-symmetrical-wargames-is/ https://dejareviewer.com/2015/08/12/shall-we-play-a-game-let... In a movie full of brilliant ideas, I think WarGames’ use of Tic-Tac-Toe as a metaphor for the futility of a nuclear war is its best. When equally matched powers with mutually assured destruction meet, “The only winning move is not to play.” By setting up the movie’s story in a way that is perfectly symmetrical, the filmmakers have done something incredible where they highlight the themes of equally matched opponents, the importance of fighting to survive rather than giving up on humanity, cherishing life even in the face of tragic death, and more. Its technology may be dated, but WarGames will remain a relevant film as long as the fear of catastrophic war and intelligent machines is with us. What a “strange game,” indeed.
