A few rebuttals, though... The Jurassic Park scene was genuinely Unix... the screen was showing FileSystem Navigator, a 3D... uhh... File system navigator... on SGI Irix, an operating system that counts as Unix in my book. WarGames simplified a lot of hacks the same way MacGyver simplified a lot of real-world tricks. To show the technically correct processes could take hours and would be boring. Some of the stuff in Swordfish was similar. Theoretically possible but technical details glossed over. And some glaring technical flaws beyond the "hacking" scenes. Real [malicious computer hacking | video editing | race car driving | etc... ] looks really boring to people that don't know what they're looking at.
