I'm sad that you failed to mention the original /Hackers/ movie as well as /Swordfish/ -- two staples of Defcon movie nights.

- txcwpalpha 8y agoAh! I had Swordfish in mind but my brain blanked and I couldn't think of the name. For Hackers, I have no excuse.
- appleiigs 8y agoSneakers with Robert Redford
- merlincorey 8y agoYes! Another great classic Hacker flick.
- classichasclass 8y agoSneakers worked well because it had A-list actors playing up the social engineering aspect, which an A-list actor can do. It had comparatively little meditation on the hardware and technical aspects and from a plot and longevity perspective I think that was a particular strength of the movie.
