Another interesting part of that movie is the salami slicing plot line. Salami slicing is the name for collecting factional cents off thousands of transactions to accumulate a big payout without people noticing. It's featured in a bunch of movies: - Superman III - Hackers - I love you Philip Morris - Office Space I mention it in my talk about how to program database systems safely when handling money to avoid situations like that. It can also happen by accident when converting between floats and Decimals incorrectly while programming. https://github.com/pirate/django-concurrency-talk https://github.com/pirate/django-concurrency-talk
